Evorel Conti Medical Information
Evorel Conti is a Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). Evorel Conti contains two medicines: An oestrogen (estradiol) A progestogen (norethisterone) They are both female hormones. Evorel Conti comes in a ‘memory pack’. This can be used to help you remember when to change your patches.
Each pack contains eight or twenty-four patches.
The hormones are spread evenly in each patch. They pass slowly into your body through the skin.
Evorel Conti is used for
• The symptoms of the menopause. It is suitable for women who have not had a period (menstrual bleed) for at least 18 months
• Prevent osteoporosis (fragile bones) in women who have had the menopause and are most likely to have bone problems. Evorel Conti are only used if other medicines for osteoporosis have been tried first and they have notworked.
You may put an Evorel Conti patch on at any time if:
• You have not been using another type of HRT Put an Evorel Conti patch on at the end of a treatment cycle or one week after you finish using another HRT product if:
• You are changing from an HRT medicine that gives you a withdrawal bleed If you are using another type of HRT:
• The day you start will depend on the type of HRT you have been using Talk to your doctor if you are not sure which type of HRT you are using.
Using the patches
The patches need to be changed twice a week. Start a new pack of Evorel Conti as soon as you finish one. Do not leave a break between packs.
Changing your patches
• You must change the patches twice a week to give your body a steady supply of hormones. There is enough hormone in each patch to last for several days
• Change your patch on the same two days every week. This will mean that one patch is on for three days and the next patch for four days
• For example, if you apply your first patch on a Monday, change it on Thursday and again on the following Monday.
