Abstract
The synthetic drug, 4, 4 dihy-droxy-A, B diethyl stilbene (stilbestrol) is a potent prep., effective by mouth as well as by parenteral inj. fulfilling and sometimes surpassing the therapeutic qualifications of the natural estrins. A number of the untoward reactions herein and elsewhere reported may be the result of estrin overdosage. Its potency, ease of adm. and low cost make it conducive to therapeutic abuse. Extreme caution as regards its indiscriminate adm. is warranted until after more intensive study of its toxicology.
