Estradiol is a form of estrogen, a hormone involved in the regulation of the menstrual cycle and reproductive system. Estradiol hemihydrate is a hydrated form of estradiol, meaning it contains water molecules in its crystalline structure, which can affect its stability and solubility. Both forms are used in hormone replacement therapies, but the hemihydrate form may be chosen for its specific pharmacokinetic properties.
