About Evorel Conti

Evorel Conti Patches For Menopause Symptom Relief reviews

• What Menopause Symptoms Can Evorel Help With?

  

  Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) eases the symptoms of menopause by supplementing the levels of hormones that your body usually produces naturally. In menopausal women, these levels drop dramatically. Some medicines are oestrogen-only. However, in women who still have a uterus, an uncontrolled increase in oestrogen levels will cause the lining of the uterus (the endometrium) to grow excessively.

  This could substantially increase your risk of complications such as endometrial cancer. Evorel Conti patch also contains norethisterone acetate, a synthetic version of progesterone to help counteract this increased risk.

  Symptoms that Evorel Conti patches can help relieve include hot flushes, night sweats, moodswings, vaginal problems such as dryness or itching, and uncomfortable or painful sexual intercourse.

  Evorel Conti patches could also help protect your bones if you’re at risk of developing osteoporosis or brittle bones. This reduces the risk of experiencing bone fractures.

• Who Can Use Evorel Conti Patches?

  

  Evorel Conti patches may be suitable for you if you are postmenopausal and haven’t had a menstrual period for at least 18 months. If your menopausal symptoms seriously impact your daily life, you may be prescribed Evorel Conti patches to help relieve them.

  If you are at risk of osteoporosis and other hormone replacement therapies haven’t worked, your prescriber may suggest Evorel Conti as another option.

• How Do I Apply Evorel Conti Patches?

  

  To use Evorel Conti patches, you stick one patch to a clean, dry, hairless area of your body below the waist. Many people choose their bottom or thigh. You should change the patch twice a week on the same days each week. This means that one patch will be on your body for three days and the next for four days. Always rotate the areas that you apply your patches to never put them in the same place twice in a row, as this can cause irritation. Never leave a break between patches, as this may cause your symptoms to return.

• Will Evorel Conti Patches Cause My Womb Lining To Thicken?

  

  Hormone replacement therapies that only contain oestrogen can sometimes cause your womb lining to thicken, and this can result in a monthly bleed, even after the menopause. Evorel Conti combines oestrogen with progesterone with the aim of stopping this from happening. For many people with their uterus intact, this means you may not get monthly withdrawal bleeding while using Evorel Conti. But you may experience some bleeding or spotting in the first few months until treatment settles down.

• Are Evorel Conti Patches Different From Other HRT Treatments?

  

  Evorel Conti patches are a combined type of hormone replacement therapy, meaning that they contain both synthetic oestrogen and a type of progesterone called norethisterone. This makes them different to many other HRT patches, which only contain oestrogen. Evorel Conti is also different to oral HRT treatments, because those can cause side effects throughout your body. With Evorel Conti, the delivery of hormones through your skin may reduce the risk of certain side effects. It’s also different to topical treatments such as vaginal creams, because they only target local symptoms.

• How Long Does It Take For Evorel Conti Patches To Start Working?

  

  You may notice an improvement in your symptoms after a few weeks of using Evorel Conti patches, but it can take up to three months to feel the full benefits. If you have any concerns about the effectiveness of your Evorel Conti patches, reach out to our clinical team for support. Not every type of HRT is the right fit for every person, and it can take time to find the most appropriate treatment for you. Our clinical team is here to help you find that treatment.

• Does Evorel Conti Interact With Other Medications?

  

  Evorel Conti could interact with other medications, including some epilepsy medicines (e.g. phenytoin, carbamazepine), tuberculosis medicines (e.g. rifampicin), HIV medicines (e.g. nevirapine, ritonavir, nelfinavir), bosentan (to reduce blood pressure in the lungs), hepatitis C medicines (e.g. telaprevir), and St John's Wort.

  This list isn’t every single medication that Evorel Conti could interact with, so you should let our clinical team know of any other medicines you take so they can make sure there are no additional interactions.

• Will Using Evorel Conti Increase My Risk Of Cancer?

  

  HRT in general may increase your risk of breast cancer. The extent of this risk will vary depending on the length of your HRT treatment and whether you are taking combined or oestrogen-only HRT. Evorel Conti is a combined form of HRT, meaning that, as well as synthetic oestrogen, it also contains a artificial progesterone to help reduce the risk of some cancers.

  Check your breasts regularly for changes to the skin or nipple, or any noticeable lump. If you use HRT for more than five years, there may also be a slight increase in your risk of developing ovarian cancer.

• What Alternatives Are Available If I Can't Use Evorel Conti?

  

  If Evorel Conti isn’t right for you, there are other options out there, including oestrogen-only patches, combined tablets, vaginal creams, and gels. What suits you most will depend on a number of individual factors. When you go through our quick and easy online consultation, a member of our clinical team will help you determine which alternative is the best for your situation.
