Estradot

"Estradot is a highly effective transdermal treatment typically prescribed for women experiencing the menopause to manage symptoms like hot flushes and night sweats by stabilising hormone levels. As a steady-release patch, it offers a convenient alternative to daily oral medication for those seeking consistent oestrogen replacement therapy." - Rachael Clarke MRCPharm MFRPSI FRSPH (GPHC Number: 2061366)

Estradot is a small, thin transdermal patch used as hormone replacement therapy to treat symptoms of the menopause caused by a drop in oestrogen. It is specifically designed to stick to the skin and release a steady amount of hormone into the bloodstream, helping to manage bone density and reduce the physical discomforts of the menopausal transition.

The primary active ingredient in Estradot is estradiol, which is chemically and biologically identical to the natural oestrogen produced by the human ovaries. By using this bioidentical hormone, the patches help restore the hormonal balance that shifts during the climacteric period.

Many patients report that Estradot patches are preferred over tablets because they are discreet and only need to be changed twice a week. Users often find the small size of the patch more comfortable than other HRT brands, noting significant improvements in sleep quality and mood stability within the first few weeks of use.

Every pack of medication includes a Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) which contains essential details regarding the safe use and storage of your patches. You should read this document thoroughly before starting your treatment to understand the full clinical profile of the product.

Estradot works by replacing the oestrogen that the body no longer produces in sufficient quantities during and after the menopause. The patch uses a reservoir system to transfer estradiol through the skin and directly into the blood, bypassing the digestive system and reducing the metabolic load on the liver.

You should apply the patch to a clean, dry area of skin on the lower abdomen or buttocks, ensuring the site is free from oils or lotions. It is important to rotate the application site each time you change the patch to prevent skin irritation and ensure optimal absorption of the medication.

The dosage of Estradot is determined by your clinician based on the severity of your symptoms and your medical history. Patches are typically changed twice weekly, for example, on a Monday and a Thursday, to maintain a consistent level of hormones in your system.

Like all medications, Estradot can cause side effects, although not everyone will experience them. Common occurrences include skin redness at the application site, breast tenderness, or occasional headaches, most of which often subside as your body adjusts to the hormone levels.

Before you order Estradot, it is vital to disclose your full medical history, particularly if you have a history of blood clots, liver disease, or certain types of cancer. This treatment is intended for women with an intact uterus only if used alongside a progestogen to protect the uterine lining.

Can I go swimming or shower with the patch on?

Yes, Estradot patches are designed to be waterproof and should remain in place during bathing, showering, or swimming. If a patch does fall off, simply apply a new one and continue with your original replacement schedule.

Where is the best place to apply the patch?

The best place to apply the patch is on the lower back, hip, or abdomen. Avoid placing the patch near the breasts or on skin that is irritated or cut.
