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.
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.
