Description Estradot patches are a form of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) designed for women who have gone through menopause. If you’ve had a hysterectomy (womb removal), this treatment is suitable for you. If you still have your womb, it is prescribed alongside utrogestan progesterone pills. The patches contain estradiol, a natural form of oestrogen. They help restore declining oestrogen levels, providing effective relief from menopause symptoms like hot flushes and night sweats, and also assist in preventing osteoporosis. Estradot can help protect against bone thinning (osteoporosis) Description Directions How to use it Choose an appropriate site: Select a clean, dry, and hairless area of your lower abdomen, preferably around the waist or hips. Avoid areas with broken skin or excessive sweating. Apply the patch: Peel the protective backing off the patch. Press the adhesive side of the patch onto your skin firmly for a few seconds to ensure it sticks well. Replace the patch: Estradot patches are typically worn for 3 to 4 days at a time, depending on your doctor's instructions. After this time, remove the old patch and apply a new one to a different area of your skin. Keep the patch on: The patch should remain in place for the full duration of its wear time, even when bathing or swimming. Follow your doctor's instructions: It's important to use the patches exactly as prescribed by your doctor, including how often to change them, and any additional medications like progesterone pills if applicable. Always read the instructions provided with the medication and ask your doctor or pharmacist if you're unsure.
