Do not use Estalis Continuous or other oestrogens, with or without a progestogen to prevent heart attacks, stroke or dementia. A study called the Womens Health Initiative indicated increased risk of heart attack, stroke, breast cancer, and blood clots in the legs or lungs in women receiving treatment with a product containing conjugated oestrogens 0. MPA. The researchers stopped the study after 5 years when it was determined the risks were greater than the benefits in this group. The Womens Health Initiative Memory Study indicated increased risk of dementia in women aged 6. MPA. There are no comparable data currently available for other doses of conjugated oestrogens and MPA or other combinations of oestrogens and progestogens. Therefore, you should assume the risks will be similar for other medicines containing oestrogen and progestogen combinations. Talk regularly with your doctor about whether you still need treatment with Estalis Continuous. Treatment with oestrogens, with or without progestogens should be used at the lowest effective dose and for the shortest period of time. What Estalis Continuous is used for. Estalis Continuous is a type of treatment called hormone replacement therapy HRT. It is a stick on patch that contains the hormones, oestradiol and norethisterone acetate NETA. Estalis Continuous is used for the short term relief of symptoms of the menopause. It can also be used to prevent thinning of the bones in women with a high risk of fractures due to osteoporosis who cannot use other treatments. Estalis Continuous is used only for women who still have a uterus womb. HRT should not be used for the long term maintenance of general health or to prevent heart disease or dementia. Estalis Continuous is not suitable for birth control and it will not restore fertility. How it works. Oestradiol is a natural female sex hormone called an oestrogen. It is the same hormone that your ovaries were producing before the menopause. NETA is a hormone called a progestogen. It has effects similar to the female hormone, progesterone, which your ovaries also produced before the menopause. The menopause occurs naturally in the course of a womans life, usually between the ages of 4. After menopause, your body produces much less oestrogen than it did before. This can cause unpleasant symptoms such as a feeling of warmth in the face, neck and chest, hot flushes sudden, intense feelings of heat and sweating throughout the body, sleep problems, irritability and depression. Some women also have problems with dryness of the vagina causing discomfort during or after sex. Oestrogens can be given to reduce or eliminate these symptoms. After the age of 4. This is a thinning of the bones that makes them weaker and more likely to break, especially the bones of the spine, hip and wrist. Exercise, calcium and vitamin D can help reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Women who still have a uterus must take both oestrogen and progestogen as part of HRT. This is because oestrogen stimulates the growth of the lining of the uterus called the endometrium. Before menopause this lining is removed during your period through the action of a natural progestogen. After menopause, taking oestrogen on its own as HRT may lead to irregular bleeding and to a disorder called endometrial hyperplasia. Progestogens such as NETA help to protect the lining of the uterus from developing this disorder. Estalis Continuous patches release oestradiol and NETA in a continuous and controlled way just as your ovaries were doing before. Because the medicine does not have to pass through your stomach and liver, it allows you to take a much lower dose than would be needed in a tablet and helps to avoid some unpleasant side effects. Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why this medicine has been prescribed for you. Your doctor may have prescribed it for another purpose. This medicine is available only with a doctors prescription. It is not habit forming. Before you use Estalis Continuous. When you must not use it.

If you had a severe skin reaction in the past, you could have a very serious reaction if you use any type of oestrogen or progestogen patch, tablet, cream, etc. Do not use Estalis Continuous if you have cancer of the breast or uterus womb or any other oestrogen dependent cancer, or you have had this condition in the pastblood clots in your blood vessels, now or in the past.

Does HRT take anxietydepression away in perimenopause Menopause. Hi. Welcome to the best find ever  Only found this forum myself a few days before Xmas but Ive read some great advice been reassured had things clarified. I say more Im perimenopausal and cant wait for the day that I actually miss a period as I am still as regular as clockwork aged 5. Thank God.  Im not sure which route I want to go bioidentical or traditional HRT. One things for sure I aint going this alone  I know some ladies on here just getgot by on vit supplements and herbals. Me Well all Ill say is that like with labour pains, I will have whatevers going to take the pain away and I did, gas air, pethadene, epidural  were not all Earth Mothers, so why be a martryr2 of my 3 sisters swear by HRT. The other went the natural route lives in Oz, had a very healthy lifestyle so was not surprised. Is HRT the way to go My next sister up is 6. Her female GP suggested she come off HRT after 7yrs. Lets just say that my sister, with her very vocalpersuasive nature came out of the surgery smiling, clutching her repeat prescription for. HRT Assume your not the UK  Otherwise youd be walking out of the surgery armed with SSRIs. That seems to be the way GPs in the UK want to deal with the anxiety element for menopausal women. I was of the opinion that HRT would sort out hot flushes, balance hormones, help with loss of libido Please Please Please, but not necessarily deal with anxiety per seI was prescribed some to give them a go. After researching them, I decided  they were defo not for me. Had that many side effects and someI couldnt see how theyd help me at all. C650 Gratis Motorola Pc Software. Not saying that HRT andor SSRIs are bad or indeed good for all. For me, I have the choice and Im choosing not to go down the SSRI route. But I do think  Ive got to give HRT a go. Hp Officejet J4550 All-In-One Driver on this page. Im sure Ill have all the Sisters who are usingbenefitting from SSRIs on my case  but thats OK, thats what forums like this are for. These are just my views, and I suppose my dislike of SSRIs are based solely on having had to watch over our eldest sister 7. Ive seen her without their help so know they work. I just feel a million miles away from her to state to need them at the mo. Maybe see what your Doc has to say about the best possible treatment for your anxiety.
