About Estradot

Estradot patches are classed as a hormone replacement therapy (HRT). It contains estradiol, which acts in the same way as the female sex hormone oestrogen and is used to treat the symptoms of menopause.

If levels of oestrogen only are increased during HRT treatment, the endometrium would grow excessively, causing an increased risk of endometrial cancer. If you have not had a hysterectomy you will be prescribed a progestogen with Estradot.

Estradot helps to treat menopausal symptoms such as:

• Osteoporosis
• Hot flushes, night sweats
• Depression, mood swings
• Sleep problems
• Vaginal dryness

NowPatient offers Estradot patches as a treatment for HRT only, following an online consultation with a prescribing clinician.
