Evorel Conti Patches

Evorel Conti Patches are a type of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) used to relieve symptoms of menopause. These patches provide a continuous and combined dose of two hormones, estradiol (an estrogen) and norethisterone (a progestogen), through the skin.

Evorel Conti Patches work by delivering a consistent level of estrogen and progestogen into the bloodstream through the skin. This helps to replace declining hormone levels during menopause and alleviate associated symptoms.

Evorel Conti Patches are primarily prescribed to manage menopausal symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and mood swings. They offer a continuous hormonal balance without the need for a monthly withdrawal bleed.

The patches are applied to clean, dry, and unbroken skin, usually on the lower abdomen or buttocks. It is essential to change the patch twice a week, following the provided instructions.

Evorel Conti Patches provide a continuous, single dosage strength, which contains both estradiol and norethisterone. Your healthcare provider will determine if this strength is appropriate for you.

Evorel Conti Patches are typically prescribed during menopause rather than perimenopause. Your doctor will assess your symptoms and recommend the most suitable treatment based on your specific needs.

Common side effects may include skin irritation at the patch application site, breast tenderness, and headaches. Serious side effects are rare but can include blood clots. Consult your healthcare provider for a comprehensive list of potential side effects and their management.
