Estropipate, sold under the brand name Ogen among others, is a medication used to treat the symptoms of menopause and ovarian failure. It was previously also used to prevent postmenopausal osteoporosis. It is taken by mouth.

Common side effects include headache, breast pain, irregular vaginal bleeding, abdominal cramps, and nausea. Other side effects may include high blood pressure, liver problems, high sugar, swelling, hair loss, and vaginal yeast infections. Rarely blood clots or gallbladder disease may occur. It is an estrogen, specifically a salt of estrone sulfate and piperazine, which is transformed into estrone and estradiol in the body.

Estropipate was first made commercially in the United States in 1950. In the United States 100 tablets of 0.75 mg used to cost about 50 USD. Production; however, has been discontinued in the United States as of 2021.
