Climara Patch Product Description
Climara Patch is a prescription drug in the form of a patch, that contains an estrogen called estradiol, that is applied to the skin to relieve menopausal symptoms. This menopausal skin patch gives continuing treatment by delivering modest quantities of estradiol, a synthetic hormone, into the circulation.
Climara pro vs Combipatch
- CombiPatch and Climara Pro are both transdermal patches that contain female hormone combinations that are used to treat low estrogen levels and menopausal symptoms. Climara also reduces the risk of osteoporosis.
- Climara (estradiol patch) is used only once weekly, while Combipatch (estradiol/norethindrone patch) is a twice-weekly patch
Climara vs Vivelle Dot
- Climara and Vivelle-Dot are estrogen hormone transdermal systems intended to treat menopausal vasomotor, vulvar, and vaginal atrophy symptoms, hypoestrogenism, and to prevent postmenopausal osteoporosis. Vivelle-Dot also reduces urine discomfort and urgency and is used to treat ovarian issues, infertility, and irregular vaginal bleeding.
Direction
- Remove the patch’s backing and place it on a clean, dry region of the lower stomach or the top of the buttocks.
- To ensure the patch stays in place, press it firmly in place for around ten (10) seconds. Do not use the patch on the breasts or on skin that is greasy, damaged, or inflamed.
- Apply the patch only to regions of the skin where it will not be readily rubbed off.
- Climara patches are typically used for one week before being changed. Climara patch dosages are determined by your medical condition and reaction to treatment.
