What Is Estradiol 0.05 mg Patches (Once Weekly)?
Estradiol 0.05 mg patches (brand name Climara) are a transdermal form of estrogen hormone therapy applied once weekly. The patch releases estradiol, the primary estrogen produced by the ovaries, steadily through the skin into the bloodstream. It is FDA-approved to treat moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms of menopause, symptoms of vulvar and vaginal atrophy, and low estrogen due to certain medical conditions, and to prevent postmenopausal osteoporosis. Because it bypasses the digestive system, a once-weekly estradiol patch can be a convenient option for people who prefer not to take daily pills.
