Quick answer

Fatigue shows up on the FDA labels for the active ingredients Midi Health prescribes — Estradiol (patch, pill, gel) + micronized progesterone. This page walks through the labelled frequency ranges, what to watch for, and when to call your clinician.

What Midi Health prescribes and why it matters for fatigue

Midi Health prescribes FDA-approved estradiol and progesterone plus non-hormonal options — paroxetine 7.5 mg (Brisdelle) and fezolinetant (Veozah) — for patients who cannot or prefer not to use estrogen. Because Midi Health prescribes FDA-approved active ingredients, the labelled adverse-reaction tables from those medications describe the frequencies you should expect. Fatigue / somnolence entries appear across estradiol, progesterone, and paroxetine PILs used by these brands.

Common label-level side effects

Sourced from Section 6 (Adverse Reactions) of each FDA-approved PIL.

Asthenia (fatigue) is listed at 3–7% in most estradiol combination PILs Section 6 adverse-reaction tables
Prometrium PIL Section 6.1 lists somnolence at 8% — commonly reported as fatigue
Brisdelle (paroxetine 7.5 mg) PIL lists fatigue at 5–8% in Section 6

Serious label-level warnings

Drawn from Section 5 (Warnings and Precautions) of the FDA-approved PILs — including the estradiol boxed warning where applicable.

Fatigue paired with yellowing skin or dark urine — hepatic adverse-event signal on the estradiol and Prometrium labels
Fatigue with chest pain or breathlessness — the estradiol PIL boxed warning covers cardiovascular events

When to contact your clinician

Contact your clinician if fatigue is sudden, paired with chest symptoms, or accompanied by jaundice — both estradiol and progesterone labels flag these as urgent.

Call 911 if you develop chest pain, one-sided weakness, sudden severe headache, vision or speech change, or shortness of breath — per the estradiol PIL boxed warning for cardiovascular events.

What to ask your provider

“Which SKU in the Midi Health formulary am I on, and what is its labelled frequency for fatigue?”
“Is my fatiguelikely a labelled adverse reaction, or something separate that needs its own workup?”
“Would a different delivery route (patch vs. pill, oral vs. transdermal) change my expected frequency?”
“What is the plan if fatiguedoes not settle within 2–3 cycles?”
