    Fun fact! That pill is not commonly prescribed anymore (I hope it isn’t prescribed anywhere at all really) as it is horse estrogen derived from the urine of pregnant horses! It used to be common back in the day, but these days we enjoy human estrogens instead with no extra side effects.

      To be fair, it’s not human oestrogens collected from pregnant women or something, it’s synthetic made in a lab. There’s no difference in the estradiol (E2) molecule between different mammals, so the stuff we use now could be used for HRT for a horse. That’s why the horse piss tiddy juice worked in the first place!
