Estradiol valerate/testosterone enanthate

Estradiol valerate/testosterone enanthate (EV/TE), sold under the brand names Primodian Depot and Ditate among others, is an injectable combination medication of estradiol valerate (EV), an estrogen, and testosterone enanthate (TE), an androgen/anabolic steroid, which is used in menopausal hormone therapy for women.[1][2] The medication is also used to suppress lactation in postpartum women (brand name Deladumone).[3][4][5][6]

Ditate was provided in the form of multi-use 10 mL vials containing 4 mg/mL EV and 90 mg/mL TE in an oil solution and was administered by intramuscular injection at regular intervals.[7] Conversely, another preparation, Ditate-DS, was provided in the form of single-use 2 mL vials containing 8 mg/mL EV and 180 mg/mL TE in an oil solution, and was administered as a single intramuscular injection.[7] Another product, Primodian Depot, was provided in the form of 1 mL ampoules containing 4 mg/mL EV (3.0 mg/mL free estradiol) and 90.3 mg/mL TE (65 mg/mL free testosterone) in an oil solution, and was administered by intramuscular injection once every 4 to 6 weeks.[8][9][10][11] The elimination half-life of EV in oil by intramuscular injection is approximately 4 or 5 days.[12] Similarly, the elimination half-life of TE in oil by intramuscular injection is approximately 4 or 5 days.[13] EV/TE reportedly has a duration of about 21 days.[14]

Deladumone OB was a double-dosage formulation of Deladumone, which was intended to provide the same dosage with a smaller injection volume.[15]

Primodian Depot was introduced for medical use by 1955.[16] An oral tablet product with the similar brand name of Primodian, containing ethinylestradiol and methyltestosterone, was marketed around the same time, and should not be confused with the injectable Primodian Depot.[8] EV/TE was discontinued in the United States by 2011.[17] EV/TE has been discontinued in most other countries as well, but formulations of EV/TE continue to be marketed in a few countries, including Japan, Mexico, Peru, and Taiwan.[18][19][20]
