Epimestrol is a synthetic steroidal estrogen used primarily as part of ovulation induction protocols for the treatment of female infertility. It is an estrogen prodrug, primarily converted to 17-epiestradiol in the body. Epimestrol is no longer widely marketed or approved in many countries, and its use has been largely superseded by newer ovulation induction agents.
No published pharmacokinetic data for epimestrol in humans is available in the scientific literature as of 2024. All pharmacokinetic parameters estimated based on the closely related estrogen compounds.
