Estradot HRT patches for menopause

Combined Continuous Estradot 100 + 100mg Otrogestan_12 Weeks (1)

What is Estradot?

Estradot is a type of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) worn as a patch on the skin. Each patch contains the hormone estradiol, a naturally occurring form of oestrogen, which can help to manage menopause symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, and mood changes. What makes Estradot different from other HRT patches is its small size and suitability for sensitive skin, thanks to the hypoallergenic glue it uses.  

Estradot requires a prescription. Our clinicians will assess your suitability based on your medical history. 

Estradot patches are available in 5 different strengths, and our clinician will recommend a dose based on your age, your symptoms, and your health profile. The 5 strengths are 25mcg, 37.5mcg, 50mcg, 75mcg, and 100mcg.  

Estradot stock will be available to request on private prescription in June.

How is Estradot taken?

There are three different ways Estradot HRT is prescribed, and the one that’s right for you will depend on your medical history. Oestrogen-only HRT is suitable if you’ve had a hysterectomy and no longer have a womb. Combined HRT use is required if you still have your womb intact as the addition of progestogen helps to reduce the risk of developing womb cancer.  

Combined-continuous HRT

You’ll change your Estradot patch twice each week and take a progestogen (Utrogestan) tablet daily.  

Combined-sequential HRT

You’ll change your Estradot patch twice each week and take a progestogen (Utrogestan) tablet 12 days per month.  

Oestrogen-only HRT

There are no tablets to take as part of this schedule. You’ll just wear the Estradot patched and change them twice each week.  

The patches release estradiol through the skin into your bloodstream and are usually worn below the waist, on your lower abdomen, bottom, or thighs. You’ll replace an existing patch for a new one every 3-4 days.

What’s the difference between combined-continuous HRT and combined-sequential HRT?

Combined continuous HRT is usually recommended for women at the stage of menopause where their last period was over a year ago. Combined-sequential HRT is typically recommended if you’re experiencing menopause symptoms and still having periods, or your last period was less than 12 months ago. With this schedule, you’ll most likely still have a monthly withdrawal bleed during your break in taking progestogen (Utrogestan) 

Who can and can’t use Estradot?

Estradot as a HRT treatment is thought to be well tolerated by most women experiencing menopause symptoms. It can be helpful if you have sensitive skin as the patches are made using a hypoallergenic glue. HRT may not be suitable for women with a history of certain medical conditions.  

Like all medicines, there are some risks associated with HRT treatments and you should always let your clinician know if you have a history of: 

  • Breast cancer 

  • Womb cancer or cancer of the womb lining 

  • An allergic reaction to oestrogen or progestogen 

  • Untreated thickening of the womb lining (endometrial hyperplasia) 

  • Unexplained vaginal bleeding 

  • Blood clots in the veins or lungs 

  • Blood disorders 

  • Liver disease  

  • A recent heart attack, stroke, or angina 

  • High blood pressure 

  • Underactive thyroid 

  • An inherited condition called porphyria 

  • Diabetes 

  • Migraines or severe headaches 

  • Lupus 

  • Epilepsy 

  • Asthma 

You should also let your clinician know if you: 

  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding 

  • Have a BMI of 40+ (classed as very obese) 

  • Have dementia 

Our clinicians review your medical history to ensure HRT is safe for you.
