Estradot is a medication containing the active ingredient estradiol, a form of the female hormone estrogen. It is used to supplement low estrogen levels in the body, which can occur during menopause or due to certain medical conditions. Estradot helps relieve symptoms such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and mood swings. This treatment is suitable for women experiencing menopausal symptoms or those who have had their ovaries removed.
About Estradot
Dosage and usage
You should apply one Estradot patch to clean, dry skin on your lower abdomen or buttocks. Change the patch twice a week, preferably on the same days to maintain a consistent hormone level. Avoid applying the patch to irritated or damaged skin. If you forget to apply a patch, do so as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. If you experience any unusual vaginal bleeding, inform your healthcare provider promptly.
What Estradot contains
Each Estradot patch contains 25 micrograms of estradiol as the active ingredient. The patch also includes acrylic adhesive, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, povidone, lauryl lactate, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, and oleic acid as excipients.
Side effects
Common side effects of Estradot may include skin irritation at the application site, breast pain, headaches, and nausea. However, seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms of a blood clot such as sudden chest pain, shortness of breath, or severe headaches. Allergic reactions like rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing require immediate medical help.
Precautions
Do not use Estradot if you have a history of blood clots, liver disease, or breast cancer. This medication is not suitable for pregnant women or those breastfeeding. If you have a known or suspected estrogen-dependent tumor, consult your doctor before using Estradot. Inform your healthcare provider about any current medications, especially if you are taking blood thinners or have heart conditions.
