Quote:
"Estrogen therapy is available in two main dosage forms—systemic and local.
• Systemic dosage form. When used orally (tablet), through the skin (patch, gel, or emulsion), or as an injection, estrogen circulates throughout the bloodstream and to all parts of the body, affecting many different tissues. Almost all of the systemic forms have the potential to provide the full range of benefits and risks associated with ET. The one exception is the ultralow-dose
estradiol skin patch (Menostar); it is FDA approved only for osteoporosis prevention in postmenopausal women. Women with a uterus who use systemic ET typically use another hormone (progestogen) to protect the uterus from endometrial cancer."

My paraphrasing :

There are a variety of hormone replacement and treatments available on the market through prescription. According to one source, the “two main dosage forms – systemic and local” are the common forms available. A “systemic dosage form” is usually taken through an oral tablet form, through the skin in a patch or gel form, or injected into the body. These types of applications are considered systemic because once administered, they affect the entire system of the body. It is also noted that, “Almost all of the systemic forms have the potential to provide the full range of benefits and risks association with ET [estrogen therapy].”
