Evorel Patches (25, 50, 75 & 100)

How does Evorel work? Evorel patches deliver estradiol, which is a form of estrogen, through the skin and into the bloodstream. During menopause, the ovaries produce less estrogen, leading to various symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood changes, and sleep disturbances. By supplementing the body with estradiol, Evorel helps replenish estrogen levels and alleviate these symptoms.

How are Evorel patches used? Evorel patches are applied to the skin, typically on the lower abdomen or buttocks, once or twice a week. The specific dosage and duration of treatment will depend on individual needs and the recommendations of the healthcare provider. It is important to follow the instructions provided by the healthcare provider or included with the patches.

What are the common side effects of Evorel? Common side effects of Evorel may include breast tenderness, bloating, headache, nausea, and mood changes. These side effects are usually mild and transient. If any side effects become severe or persistent, it is important to seek medical advice.

Can Evorel be used during pregnancy? Evorel is not indicated for use during pregnancy. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for guidance and alternative options if pregnancy is a concern.

Can Evorel be used while breastfeeding? Evorel is generally not recommended for use while breastfeeding. It is advisable to discuss options with a healthcare provider for managing menopausal symptoms during breastfeeding.
