Why is Climara prescribed?

Climara is an estradiol transdermal patch used to manage symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes (sudden strong feelings of heat) and vaginal changes (dryness, itching, or burning sensation) and prevent osteoporosis (bone loss).

What does it do?

Estrogen is a hormone responsible for the development and maintenance of the female reproductive system. Estrogen levels start to fall during menopause, hence producing the symptoms mentioned above. Estradiol (a form of estrogen) transdermal patches work as a replacement for estrogen that is normally produced in the body.

How should I take it?

Climara is currently available as a 25mcg, 50mcg, and 100mcg transdermal patch that is placed on the clean and dry skin in the lower belly.

The dosage strength and duration depend on every patient’s condition and the doctor’s prescription. It is imperative that you do not self-medicate and only take this drug after consulting with your doctor or pharmacist to determine the best dosage and dosing schedule for the treatment of your condition.

What if I missed a dose?

Taking the dose properly at the scheduled time is needed to attain the desired effect of the drug. If you forgot to take your medicine, immediately take the next dose to make up for the missed dose. However, if it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and catch the next dose at the regular time.Never take two doses just to make up for your missed dose.
