(Approval lapsed) ESTRAMON estradiol 25 microgram/24 hour transdermal patch (Germany)

Short-term treatment of signs and symptoms of estrogen deficiency due to the menopause, whether natural or surgically induced. In women with intact uteri, estrogen should always be opposed by progestogen in an adequate dosage regimen to ensure secretory transformation of the endometrium at regular intervals. Combination HRT should not be used in hysterectomised women because it is not needed in these women and it may increase the risk of breast cancer.
