Evorel patches are hormone patches containing the bio-identical hormone estradiol. After menopause, your body produces less oestrogen, which can cause symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. Evorel supplements this deficiency and can help reduce these menopausal symptoms.
This is hormone replacement therapy that delivers a consistent amount of estradiol through the skin, resulting in fewer side effects compared to tablets, for example.
Evorel delivers estradiol through the skin, ensuring stable hormone levels. This can help alleviate menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. It is a transdermal patch.
Most women notice improvement within a few weeks. The speed of improvement varies from person to person.

Risks of hormone replacement therapy
The use of medication carries risks, and this is also true for menopausal hormone replacement therapy. When using oestrogen through the skin:
There is a slightly increased risk of gallbladder problems. However, this risk is lower compared to using tablets.
If you still have a uterus, oestrogen must be combined with progesterone/progestogen. Otherwise, there is an increased risk of uterine cancer. For hormone replacement therapy involving oestrogen and progesterone/progestogen:
There is a rare but increased risk of breast cancer. This risk rises the longer you use the medication.
If you no longer have a uterus and use oestrogen alone, this increased risk of breast cancer is minimal or non-existent.
Recent studies indicate that menopausal hormone replacement therapy (when started before the age of 60) can have protective effects in addition to its risks. This includes benefits for certain types of cancer, osteoporosis, and diabetes.
