Life After Menopause

It’s not your mother's menopause. Women aren’t whispering to each other about “the change” any more. You don't have to suffer through moderate to severe flashes and night sweats. You have options.

CombiPatch is a unique hormone therapy — a combination patch containing both estrogen and a progestin. It was the first of its kind to be approved by the FDA.

CombiPatch works by balancing the hormone levels in your body. This can reduce or eliminate certain moderate to severe symptoms of menopause1 such as hot flashes, night sweats and associated sleep disturbances. And it’s easy, just apply the patch and forget about it for over 3 days. Talk to your doctor to see if CombiPatch is right for you.

WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT INFORMATION I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT COMBIPATCH (A COMBINATION OF ESTROGEN AND PROGESTIN HORMONES)?

Do not use estrogens and progestins to prevent heart disease, heart attacks, strokes or dementia (decline in memory and thinking skills). Using estrogens with progestins may increase your chances of getting heart attacks, strokes, breast cancer, and blood clots, and may increase your risk of dementia.

Do not use CombiPatch if you have had your uterus removed (hysterectomy). CombiPatch should not be used if you have unusual vaginal bleeding; currently have or have had certain cancers, including cancer of the breast or uterus; had a stroke or heart attack in the recent past (for example, in the past year); currently have or have had blood clots; currently have or have had liver problems; or think you may be, or know that you are, pregnant.

The most common side effects that may occur with CombiPatch are breast pain, vaginal bleeding, and headache.

1CombiPatch is used after menopause to: reduce moderate to severe hot flashes; treat moderate to severe dryness, itching and burning in or around the vagina; and treat certain conditions in which a young woman’s ovaries do not produce enough estrogens naturally. If you use CombiPatch only to treat your dryness, itching and burning in or around the vagina, talk with your health care professional about whether a topical vaginal product would be better for you.

You and your health care professional should talk regularly about whether you still need treatment with CombiPatch and whether you are taking the lowest dose that works for you.
