Estradot patches are hormone replacement therapy (HRT) products used to treat the symptoms of menopause. These patches contain the hormone estradiol, which is responsible for regulating ovulation and menstruation. Estradot patches are available in four different doses that should be used depending on the intensity of menopausal symptoms.
The estradot patch is a small, square patch that is applied to the skin, where it releases estradiol into the bloodstream gradually over time. Estradiol is a type of estrogen, a hormone that plays an important role in regulating the menstrual cycle and fertility in women. During menopause, levels of estrogen decline, causing symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness and mood swings. Estradot patches help to provide a consistent level of hormone in your body, which helps to reduce the symptoms of menopause.
The patches treat vaginal dryness, irritability, osteoporosis, insomnia, low libido, painful sex, and irregular menstrual cycles.
The Estradot patch should be used exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
Estradot patches contain varying amounts of estradiol (hemihydrate).
The Inactive ingredients include; Oleyl alcohol, Acrylic adhesive, Silicone adhesive, Dipropylene glycol, Povidone.
Side effects include:
Long-term use may carry a risk of blood clots, stroke, or hormone-sensitive cancers. Consult your healthcare provider if you experience severe or persistent side effects.
1. How often should I use Estradot patches?
Apply a new patch twice a week (every 3 to 4 days). Change the patch on the same two days each week, as advised by your doctor.
2. Where should I apply the patch?
Apply it to a clean, dry, and hairless area below the waistline, such as the lower back or buttocks. Avoid the breast area.
3. Can I shower or swim with the patch?
Yes, the patch is designed to be water-resistant, so you can shower, bathe, or swim. However, avoid using lotions or creams on the application area as it may affect the patch’s adhesion.
4. Can Estradot patches affect my periods?
Some women may experience irregular bleeding or spotting, particularly in the first few months. Consult your doctor if bleeding persists.
5. Are there any age restrictions for using Estradot?
Estradot is generally prescribed for postmenopausal women but may not be suitable for those over 65. Consult your doctor for individual assessment.
