Evorel Conti

"Evorel Conti is a continuous combined hormone replacement therapy (HRT) typically prescribed for postmenopausal women who have not had a natural period for at least 18 months. It effectively manages vasomotor symptoms such as hot flushes and night sweats while providing essential protection for the womb lining through its dual-action formula." - Rachael Clarke MRCPharm MFRPSI FRSPH (GPHC Number: 2061366)

Evorel Conti is a transdermal HRT treatment used primarily to relieve symptoms of the menopause in women who still have an intact womb and have been postmenopausal for over a year. It provides systemic relief for oestrogen deficiency symptoms, including vaginal dryness and sleep disturbances, and is also indicated for the prevention of osteoporosis in those at risk of bone fractures.

The active ingredients in Evorel Conti are estradiol hemihydrate and norethisterone acetate, which serve as replacements for the naturally occurring hormones oestrogen and progesterone. Each patch is designed to release a nominal dose of 50 micrograms of estradiol and 170 micrograms of norethisterone every 24 hours through the skin into the bloodstream.

User experiences with Evorel Conti often highlight the convenience of the twice-weekly patch application compared to taking daily oral tablets for menopause management. Many women report a significant reduction in the frequency of hot flushes and improved sleep quality within the first few weeks of starting the treatment, though individual results can vary.

The Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) provides essential safety data, including a full list of ingredients and detailed instructions on how to use your medication safely. It is vital that you read the leaflet supplied with your patches before starting treatment to understand the risks, benefits and contraindications associated with continuous combined HRT.

Evorel Conti works by delivering a steady stream of hormones through the skin to replace the declining levels of oestrogen that occur during and after the menopause. The estradiol alleviates menopause symptoms, while the norethisterone prevents the lining of the womb from thickening, which is a known risk when taking oestrogen-only HRT without a previous hysterectomy.

You use the treatment by applying one patch to a hairless, clean area of skin below the waist, such as the thigh or bottom, and changing it exactly twice a week. It is important to rotate the application site each time to avoid skin irritation and to ensure the patch is pressed firmly onto the skin for at least 30 seconds to guarantee adhesion.

The standard dosage for Evorel Conti involves wearing one patch at all times and replacing it on the same two days every week without any breaks between packs. This "continuous" regimen is designed to provide stable hormone levels and, for most women, results in the cessation of monthly menstrual-like bleeding after an initial adjustment period.

Side effects of Evorel Conti are generally mild and often settle within the first few months as your body adjusts to the supplemental hormones. Common experiences may include application site reactions, breast tenderness, or occasional breakthrough spotting.

Warnings and precautions for Evorel Conti include a thorough check of your medical history, specifically regarding any history of blood clots, breast cancer, or liver disease. You should not use this HRT if you have undiagnosed vaginal bleeding or if you are pregnant, and you must consult a doctor immediately if you experience sudden chest pain or swelling in your legs.

Evorel Conti is often compared to other HRT patches like FemSeven Conti or oral tablets like Elleste Duet Conti, with the primary difference being the method of delivery and the specific type of progestogen used. Transdermal patches like Evorel are often preferred because they bypass the liver, which may carry a lower risk of blood clots compared to oral HRT alternatives.

Can I go swimming or shower with the patch on?

Yes, Evorel Conti patches are designed to stay in place during bathing, showering, and swimming, although you should avoid applying oils or lotions to the skin before application.

What should I do if a patch falls off?

If a patch falls off, you should apply a new one immediately and continue with your original patch-change schedule as planned.

Will I still have a period?

Most women do not have a regular period with Evorel Conti because it is a continuous combined treatment, though light spotting is common during the first few months.
