The duration of action of the related estradiol ester estradiol 3-furoate by intramuscular injection was studied in women in 1952.[3] Its duration in oil solution was found to be similar to that of estradiol benzoate in oil solution and shorter than that of estradiol dipropionate in oil solution.[3]
