What this medicine is used for
(ARTG)
Menopausal symptoms: Short-term treatment of signs and symptoms of oestrogen deficiency due to menopause, whether natural or surgically induced. In women with an intact uterus, oestrogen should always be opposed by progestogen in an adequate dosage regimen to ensure secretory transformation of the endometrium at regular intervals (Refer to section 5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties - Clinical Trials and section 4.2 Dose and method of administration). Prevention of post-menopausal bone mineral density loss: Estraderm MX 50, 75 and 100 may be used for prevention of post-menopausal bone mineral density loss in women with an increased risk of future osteoporotic fractures who are intolerant of, or contraindicated for, other medicinal products approved for the prevention of bone mineral density loss. When prescribed solely for the prevention of postmenopausal bone mineral density loss, therapy should only be prescribed for women who are at high risk of future fracture and who are intolerant of, or contraindicated for, non-oestrogen products approved for prevention of bone mineral density loss. Lifestyle modifications and the risk-benefit profile of Estraderm MX should be taken into careful consideration and discussed with the patient to allow the patient to make an informed decision prior to prescribing (See section 4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use and section 4.2 Dose and method of administration). Combination HRT should not be used in hysterectomised women because it is not needed in these women and it may increase risk of breast cancer.
