Vivelle patch?
Subject: Vivelle patch?

Estradiol is a form of estrogen, a female sex hormone the regulates many processes in the body.


Estradiol transdermal skin patches are used to treat certain symptoms of menopause such as dryness, burning, and itching of the vaginal area. Estradiol transdermal also reduces urgency or irritation of urination. Estradiol skin patches are also used to treat ovarian disorders, infertility, and abnormal vaginal bleeding. Some estradiol skin patches are used to prevent postmenopausal osteoporosis. Transdermal skin patches release the drug slowly, and it is absorbed through your skin.


Estradiol transdermal may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
