Estraderm Patch (active ingredient: estradiol) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT): Estraderm Patch is used to manage symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness in women who have had their ovaries removed or are experiencing menopausal symptoms.
Osteoporosis Prevention: It is also indicated to help prevent osteoporosis in postmenopausal women at high risk of fractures.
Estrogen Deficiency: Estraderm Patch is prescribed to treat estrogen deficiency in women with hypogonadism, primary ovarian failure, or other conditions that cause low levels of estrogen.

Estraderm Patch belongs to a class of drugs known as estrogen replacement therapies, which work by supplementing the body’s natural estrogen levels to alleviate symptoms associated with estrogen deficiency.

Estraderm is supplied in the form of a patch that is applied to the skin. The frequency of patch application depends on the type of patch used, and it is usually applied once or twice a week. Some women wear the patch continuously, while others follow a rotating schedule of 3 weeks on and 1 week off.

Ensure that the patch is applied on the same day(s) of the week every week, as indicated on the calendar in the medication carton. Do not apply more or fewer patches or use them more often than prescribed by a healthcare provider.

General directions to follow when using Estraderm Patch:

Tear open the pouch with your fingers. Do not use scissors because they may damage the patch. Do not open the pouch until you are ready to apply the patch.
Remove the patch from the pouch. There may be a silver foil sticker used to protect the patch from moisture inside the pouch. Do not remove this sticker from the pouch.
Remove the protective liner from the patch and press the sticky side of the patch against your skin in the area you have chosen to wear your patch. Some patches have a liner that is made to peel off in two pieces. If your patch has that type of liner, you should peel off one part of the liner and press that side of the patch against your skin. Then fold back the patch, peel off the other part of the liner and press the second side of the patch against your skin. Always be careful not to touch the sticky side of the patch with your fingers.
Press down on the patch with your fingers or palm for 10 seconds. Be sure that the patch is firmly attached to your skin, especially around its edges.
Wear the patch all the time until it is time to remove it. When it is time to remove the patch, slowly peel it off your skin. Fold the patch in half so that the sticky sides are pressed together and dispose of it safely, so that is out of reach of children and pets.
If a sticky substance remains on your skin after you remove the patch, you should wait 15 minutes and then remove the substance using an oil or lotion.

Use the medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you forget to apply or change your patch, change it as soon as you remember. If it is close to the day when you normally change your patch, still apply it but change the patch again on your usual day and continue with your regular schedule. Do not wear 2 patches at once. If you are not sure what to do after forgetting to apply or change the patch, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
