About Vivelle-Dot® Transdermal ET |
|
Vivelle-Dot is offered in a range of dosage strengths.1
It's an estrogen-only treatment for women who don’t have a uterus. If you still
have your uterus, ask your doctor about
CombiPatch® (estradiol/norethindrone acetate transdermal
system) for the treatment of moderate to severe menopause symptoms.2
Or ask your doctor about progestins that can be taken with Vivelle-Dot. And did
we mention that Vivelle-Dot is the smallest
estrogen therapy (ET) patch available?
Vivelle-Dot Provides:
-
Proven relief of moderate to severe menopause symptoms
and prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis1
-
Smaller total doses than pills. Patches achieve effective hormone levels with
smaller total doses compared to pills. This does not mean that patches are safer or
more effective
-
The smallest, most discreet estrogen patch available
-
Convenient dosing — twice a week
For women interested in the source of estrogen in their therapy, the estrogen in Vivelle-Dot (estradiol) is chemically synthesized from a plant source. This does not mean Vivelle-Dot is safer or more effective than other estrogen products.
Small Size and Wearability Are Strengths of Vivelle-Dot
Vivelle-Dot is the smallest estrogen therapy patch available today. The 0.05 mg/day patch is
the size of a standard postage stamp. In fact, chances are, you’ll hardly notice it and neither will anyone else.
Vivelle-Dot is designed to feel natural, to go where you go — even in the
swimming pool — without coming off.
See for yourself how the Vivelle-Dot patch looks and feels. Request a Vivelle-Dot non-medicated sample to try.
When Smaller Will Do
Vivelle-Dot is not only the smallest estrogen patch available, in addition, because the estrogen in Vivelle-Dot is absorbed directly into
your bloodstream through your skin, you can achieve effective hormone levels with smaller total doses compared to pills. This does not mean that Vivelle-Dot is safer or
more effective than estrogen pills.
Advanced System for Estrogen Delivery
Vivelle-Dot was created using the patented DOT Matrix® delivery system. DOT
Matrix technology allows Vivelle-Dot to be the smallest ET patch available
capable of maintaining predictable and effective estrogen delivery for the
relief of moderate to severe menopause symptoms and the prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis.1
Vivelle-Dot: A Skin-Friendly Patch
Vivelle-Dot has been shown to have a low incidence of skin irritation.
Quick, Easy Dosing
Women need only apply the Vivelle-Dot patch twice a week for proper dosing and effective
relief of their moderate to severe menopause symptoms and prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis.1
Thin and Translucent
Vivelle-Dot is a tiny, thin translucent patch. Women apply the inconspicuous
patch on the skin of the lower abdomen.
Most Common Side Effects
As with any medication, side effects can occur. The most common side effects
with Vivelle-Dot are headache, breast tenderness and back pain.
