Femseven Patch 75mcg x4

What is FemSeven?
FemSeven is a Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) containing an oestrogen, estradiol hemihydrate, which
is a sexual female hormone. FemSeven is used in postmenopausal women more than one year after
menopause.
FemSeven is used for:
Relief of symptoms occurring after menopause
During the menopause, the amount of the oestrogen produced by a woman’s body drops. This can cause symptoms such as hot face, neck and chest ("hot flushes"). FemSeven alleviates these symptoms after menopause. You will only be prescribed FemSeven if your symptoms seriously hinder your daily life.
Experience of treatment in women aged over 65 years is limited.
Prevention of osteoporosis After the menopause some women may develop fragile bones (osteoporosis). You should discuss all
available options with your doctor.
If you are an increased risk of fractures due to osteoporosis and other medicines are not suitable for you, you can use FemSeven to prevent osteoporosis after menopause.
Femseven is suitable for women who have undergone a hysterectomy (an operation to remove the womb). If you have not had a hysterectomy, your doctor will normally prescribe another hormone supplement (called a progestogen) for you to use in addition to this one. The progestogen helps to protect the endometrium (lining of the womb). If you have had a hysterectomy because you had endometriosis, your doctor may also prescribe a progestogen, to protect any endometrium left behind.              Source https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/files/pil.14007.pdf
