Medication features
Evorel patches are an example of hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Evorel patches increase hormone levels within the body and alleviate the symptoms of menopause, such as sleep issues, night sweats, hot flushes, vaginal dryness, and mood swings. This hormone replacement therapy is suitable for women who have reached menopause and contains the active ingredient estradiol, which mimics the female sex hormone oestrogen.

Overview
NOTE: After selecting this product, you will need to complete a short assessment, so we can make sure this medication is suitable for you. Pricing is provided as a reference only. The final decision on issuing this medication remains with our Prescriber / Pharmacist.
HRT patches can be oestrogen-only or can contain both oestrogen and progesterone. They are useful for women who may not remember to take a tablet daily, or that experience side effects with oral therapy.
FAQ
Where do you apply Evorel patches as an HRT treatment?
Your patch should be applied to a clean, dry and hair-free area of your lower stomach. When applying your new patch, do not put it in the same place.
What are the risks involved in using Evorel patches?
Evorel patches come with some risks that need to be considered before starting treatment, which can be discussed in your consultation. With all medications, there are ways to minimise risks and having regular check-ups will ensure that any risks from using HRT are monitored and minimised.
Side Effects
There is always a risk of side effects with all medications, and an Evorel patch is no exception. Some of these can be quite mild and can subside over time. Others are more serious and should be reported to your GP right away if you experience any side effects. Please contact a member of our team if you are concerned about any potential side effects that may occur when using HRT patches.
Side effects may include:
- Vaginal discharge
- Menstrual cycle irregularities
