"Conjugated" estrogens

I don't think "conjugated" here has anything to do with covalent bonds, as the article previously suggested. Instead, it simply means combined hormones: http://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/conjugated-estrogens-oral-route/description/drg-20075319. If my change was an error, please correct and provide a citation. MrPMonday (talk) 17:56, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bias / Factuality

The use of terms like 'tortured' and claims about herbal medicine are, in my opinion, at the very least, in the wrong section of this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Omicron91 (talk • contribs) 19:47, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You're absolutely right, the claims in question weren't even supported by the citations that Cedarlady had provided, and the user was most certainly out of line attempting to advocate for alternative medicine on an article like this. I'll take care of it. TheMurgy (talk) 18:12, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake, it seems those citations weren't even provided by the user in question. They just inserted their claims prior to the preexisting citations. In the future, feel free to simply undo such blatant violations. TheMurgy (talk) 18:18, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Drugbox

The current drugbox treats CE as a combination of three drugs. That sounds too formal for our crude mixture of natural products. Artoria 2e5 🌉 10:49, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
