An analysis of vasomotor, psychological, and physical symptoms of 136 women who were receiving piperazine oestrone sulphate (Ogen) and conjugated equine oestrogens (Premarin) after menopause has shown differences in responses which can be explained only if it is accepted that the two oestrogenic compounds have differing effects on various parts of the body. Premarin (0.625 mg) was found to be more potent at inducing withdrawal bleeding than Ogen (1.25 mg), whereas Ogen was more effective than Premarin in alleviating hot flushes and some psychological symptoms. A hypothesis involving metabolism of oestrone to the catecholamine, 2-hydroxyoestrone, is postulated, which explains why these differences occur. It is further suggested that better selection of oestrogens to suit particular postmenopausal symptoms should be encouraged when prescribing oestrogen for women after menopause.
