When a patient is taking oral estrogen therapy,a weight gain of more than 2 kg per week should be reported to the physician.
The statements "Double up on the medication if a dose is missed," "Do not be concerned about breast lumps or bumps that occur," and "Take the medication on an empty stomach to enhance absorption" are not true for estrogen replacement therapy.
