Estradot is a transdermal hormone replacement therapy (HRT) used to manage moderate to severe symptoms of menopause due to oestrogen deficiency. These include hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. Suitable for postmenopausal women, Estradot helps restore hormonal balance using bioidentical oestradiol delivered directly into the bloodstream.
How It Works
Each Estradot patch contains a specific dose of oestradiol, which is released steadily through the skin and absorbed into systemic circulation. This avoids first-pass metabolism by the liver and provides consistent hormone levels, reducing fluctuations and improving symptom control. Estradot addresses oestrogen deficiency by replenishing hormone levels, helping regulate thermoregulation, mood, and other oestrogen-related functions.
Why Choose Estradot
Estradot patches offer flexible dosing in four strengths (25mcg, 50mcg, 75mcg, and 100mcg), making it easy for clinicians to tailor therapy to the individual. The discreet, transparent patches are small and water-resistant, allowing for convenient, twice-weekly application. The transdermal route reduces gastrointestinal side effects and is generally well tolerated. It’s also considered a lower-risk option for those with mild hepatic impairment or intolerance to oral HRT.
Important Note
Estradot should only be used under medical supervision. It is not suitable for individuals with a history of hormone-sensitive cancers, unexplained vaginal bleeding, active blood clots, or liver dysfunction. Regular reviews and monitoring are essential to ensure the lowest effective dose is used. If you experience leg swelling, chest pain, or sudden vision changes, seek urgent medical attention.
