Injection of estradiol benzoate is supplied as Agofollin Depot inj. 10 mg, Biotika and as estradiol valerate Neofollin inj., 5 mg, Hoechst-Biotika. Depot estrogen injections are not recommended due to side effects. Possibility "overdose" of the patient is higher (in some individuals receiving doses "the higher the better," and parenteral drug administration may in some instances these cause serious side effects). While misuse of the drug with peroral administration also occurs, the problems are not so extreme.
Intramuscular: For replacement therapy, (Estradiol, Estradiol Benzoate) 0.5 to 1.5 mg two or three times weekly; (Estradiol Cypionate) 1 to 5 mg weekly for two or three weeks; (Estradiol Dipropionate) 1 to 5 mg every one to two weeks; (Estradiol Valerate) 10 to 40 mg every one to four weeks.

Injection of estrogenic preparations - Injectable preparations are AGOFOLLIN, inj. 5 mg (estradiol dipropionate), AGOFOLLIN DEPOT, inj. 10 mg (estradiol benzoate), and NEOFOLLIN, inj. 5 mg (estradiol valerate). The producer of all these preparations is Biotika. Non-protracted AGOFOLLIN is used only for initiation of treatment, then it is continued with depot injections, which are administered three times: cycle day 4, 11 and 18. At the same time, [progesterone] (AGOLUTIN DEPOT, Biotika, amp. 2 ml / 50 mg, cycle day 18 and 25) is administered. Estrogen injection is not completely physiological - after application, the estrogen plasma concentration increases unnecessarily high and then decreases rapidly.

CIBA's range of hormone preparations has been increased with the advent of "Sistocyclin", one ampoule of which contains 200 mg progesterone and 10 mg oestradiol monobenzoate in crystalline suspension; it thus meets the requirements—in line with the most recent findings of the KAUFMANN Clinic—of cases marked by deficiency of corpus luteum hormone, e. g. in functional bleeding such as metropathia haemorrhagica.
Sistocyclin - a microcrystal suspension containing 200 mg progesterone and 10 mg oestradiol monobenzoate per ampoule - has become particularly useful in the treatment of so-called, functional [...]

Ferin (1952) also studied duration of action in women with estrogen deficiency by recording the days of freedom from hot flushes. He rates estradiol-3-benzoate, estradiol-3-furoate, estradiol dipropionate, estradiol-17-caprylate, estradiol-3-benzoate-17-caprylate in oil, and finally estradiol-3-benzoate in emulsion or as microcrystals in that order of duration of action. After 10 mg. of each of the above preparations, a woman would typically remain free of symptoms for 10 days. This could, however, be as much as 50 days.
