Descriptions

Estradiol transdermal gel, patch, and spray are used to treat moderate to severe symptoms of menopause (eg, feelings of warmth in the face, neck, and chest, or sudden strong feelings of heat and sweating [hot flashes]) in women with a uterus. It is also used to treat changes in and around the vagina (eg, vaginal dryness, itching, and burning) caused by low estrogen levels or menopause. This medicine is also used to treat certain conditions in women before menopause if their ovaries do not make enough estrogens naturally, and prevent osteoporosis after menopause.

Estradiol is an estrogen hormone. The hormone from the patch, gel, and spray is absorbed through your skin into your body.

This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.

This product is available in the following dosage forms:

• Patch, Extended Release
• Gel/Jelly
• Spray
