What is DERMESTRIL-Septem and what is it used for?
DERMESTRIL-Septem is a hormone replacement therapy (HRT). It contains 17-β-estradiol. DERMESTRIL-Septem is used in postmenopausal women whose last natural bleeding was at least 6 months ago.
DERMESTRIL-Septem is used for the following purposes:

Relief of symptoms that occur after menopause.
During menopause, the amount of estrogen produced by a woman’s body decreases. This can lead to symptoms such as a feeling of warmth in the face, neck and chest (hot flashes). DERMEST-RYL-Septem relieves these symptoms after menopause. DERMESTRIL-Septem will only be prescribed to you if your symptoms significantly affect your daily life.

How to use DERMESTRIL-Septem?
Always use DERMESTRIL-Septem exactly as your doctor has told you. If you are unsure, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

DERMESTRIL-Septem is available in three dosages:
DERMESTRIL-Septem 25, 50 and 75 mcg/24 hours. Your doctor will determine what dosage is most appropriate for you, although most women start with DERMESTRIL Septem 25 patch. Your doctor may adjust the dose to suit your individual needs during treatment. It depends on how effective the treatment is and whether you have any side effects. To start and continue treatment, your doctor will prescribe the lowest possible dose of the patch for the shortest period of time possible to treat your symptoms. Talk to your doctor if you think the dose is too strong or not strong enough.

Bleeding or drops of blood (spotting) may occur during the first few months of treatment. If you continue to have breakthrough bleeding or spotting, or bleeding continues after you stop treatment, call your doctor.
