Estradiol Patch (Estrogen Patch)
The estrogen patch delivers a steady dose of estrogen through the skin to manage menopause symptoms.
How estrogen patch works
Estrogen patches are worn on the skin and replaced regularly. It allows estrogen to enter the bloodstream gradually, avoiding first-pass metabolism through the liver.
