Does Intake Of Phenytoin And Estradiol Together Cause Hindrance In Attaining Orgasm?
Thank you I have two questions - I have taken Dilantin for years (30+). The last four years I have gone to generic extended phenytoin. I have now started estradiol 10mcg vaginal route. I m wondering if the two will be okay. The little words on the pharmacy sheet mentioned Phenytoin. My GYN know of the Dilantin. Second question, it is personal. This is a late in life physical relationship. My GYN says that because of my long use of the other prescription is hindering orgasm/climax. just wondering.

Hello,
I would explain that Phenytoin and Dilantin is the same drug. This drug does not lead to hindering climax/ orgasm. I think that this may be a psychological or hormonal problem.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
