Estraderm Patches are used to reduce symptoms of menopause, including feelings of warmth in the face, neck, and chest; the sudden intense episodes of heat and sweating known as "hot flashes"; dry, itchy external genitals; and vaginal irritation. Estraderm Patches are also prescribed for other conditions that cause low levels of estrogen, and some doctors prescribe Estraderm Patches for teenagers who fail to mature at the usual rate.
Estraderm, Climara, Vivelle, and Vivelle-Dot are prescribed to prevent osteoporosis, a condition in which the bones become brittle and easily broken.
The application site must be rotated. Allow an interval of at least 1 week between applications to a particular site.
Alora, Esclim, Estraderm, Vivelle, and Vivelle-Dot patches should be replaced twice a week; Climara once weekly.
Store the Estraderm Patches at room temperature, in their sealed pouches.
Estraderm Patches Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, notify your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue using Estraderm Patches.

Estraderm Patches is a female hormone usually given to women who no longer produce the proper amount. Estraderm Patches are used to reduce menopause symptoms such as hot flashes or vaginal dryness/discomfort or to prevent bone loss (osteoporosis) in those at high risk. Estraderm Patches may be use to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor. products applied locally such as vaginal creams, tablets, or rings should be considered before products taken by mouth or absorbed through the skin. There are several medicines (e.g., raloxifene or bisphosphonates) that are safe and effective to prevent or treat bone loss. Estraderm Patches should be considered for use before estrogen therapy. If you have other medical conditions as well, and are prescribed estrogens for more than one condition, consult your doctor about your treatment plan and its options.
