Evorel 75 reviews

7 reviews

Oestrogen patches are a great way to deliver oestrogen through the skin, which is safer than taking an oral tablet as there is no increased risk of blood clots. Patches comes in several strengths meaning it's easy to titrate the dose up and down. Patches are worn on fatty, hair free skin below the waist like the bum or thighs. They're convenient if you're forgetful as only need to be changed twice a week, but remember to put them on a different bit of skin each time. Evorel 75 patches are clear so suit all skin tones.

Method

Continuous HRT is where you take the same dose of both oestrogen and progesterone every day. It is used when your periods have stopped or when you have used cyclical HRT for more than 1 year. The aim of continuous HRT is to prevent bleeding.
Cyclical HRT is where you take breaks from the progesterone part of HRT, usually each month. You will usually have a withdrawal bleed around the time the progesterone has stopped. Some methods of HRT have this break built in already.
Oestrogen is the main component of HRT. If you have a uterus and are using oestrogen HRT then you will need to take a form of progesterone to protect the womb lining (endometrium) from overgrowing, as this can increase the risk of endometrial cancer.

I changed dosage of progesterone to daily once my periods started to become much lighter and less frequent. Only issue I have (which I just deal with!) is occasionally the patch leaves my skin red raw and tender.

My GP started me on 25mg oestrogen patch and 100mg progesterone for 25/28 days. She didn't know much about HRT. I have asked to up my patch but not really felt much benefit. Reflux is pretty constant, I had a week of nausea when I increased my dose. I feel that Evorel may not be the brand for me, it sticks well but I've not seem much improvement in symptoms.

I started with 25mg Evorel patches. My night sweats stopped within a few days. My dose was gradually increased to 75mg. However, hot flushes are still an issue so I am hoping g to have the dose increased to 100mg. The brain fog is still there, albeit improving.

Initially very positive as on Evorell 50 rather than 75 but went away for a week and didn't take a patch and when I got home all menopausal symptoms came back ...hot flushes pains bleeding so got a 75 patch and have bled for 2 to 3 months .now stopped but feeling exhausted and aches and pains and sugar cravings have gone crazy. Previously brain fog was awful and that has improved significantly and confidence at work has returned.

My experience with HRT, I think it helps but not 100%. No reviews completed by doctors for over 18 month. So I went private to get some advice.
