Description
Evorel Sequi: Hormone Replacement Therapy for Menopausal Symptoms
Evorel Sequi is a combined HRT patch that delivers both oestrogen and progestogen through the skin. It is typically used in women who still have a uterus, as the combination helps reduce the risk of endometrial hyperplasia that can occur with oestrogen-only therapy.
The patch is applied to the skin once or twice weekly, depending on your doctor’s prescription, providing a steady release of hormones directly into the bloodstream.
Benefits of Evorel Sequi
Using Evorel Sequi for HRT can provide several benefits:
- Relief from menopausal symptoms: Reduces hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings.
- Bone health support: May help prevent osteoporosis by maintaining bone density.
- Convenience: Transdermal delivery avoids first-pass metabolism in the liver, which can reduce certain side effects.
Potential Side Effects
Like all medications, Evorel Sequi may cause side effects. Common side effects include:
- Breast tenderness or swelling
- Headaches or migraines
- Nausea or bloating
- Skin irritation at the patch site
Most side effects are mild and often resolve within a few weeks.
