Evorel Sequi is a patch-based alternative HRT for women looking to overcome the various symptoms of menopause. It is especially beneficial to those who are not comfortable with oral medication or may forget to take their pills every day. The patches have to be changed only twice a week and ensure a sequential, steady supply of oestrogen and progesterone to the body. They offer significant relief from symptoms like night sweats, mood swings, hot flushes, and vaginal itching and dryness.
During menopause, your body stops producing an essential hormone called oestrogen, leading to a deficiency of it which causes distressing symptoms. To stop these effects and bring your life back to normal, it is crucial to externally supply your body with what it is no longer producing naturally. Evorel Sequi patches contain two active ingredients, a natural oestrogen (estradiol) and synthetic progesterone (norethisterone) and are essentially used to supplement your body with both these hormones. With a consistent amount of hormone, your body can cope with menopause in a much more comfortable way allowing you to live your daily life conveniently.
One of the primary benefits of using Evorel Sequi patches is that it sequentially supplies the two crucial female sex hormones required for the normal functioning of your body during menopause. In addition to that, these patches are a hassle-free alternative to oral medications since they only have to be changed twice-a-week, i.e. a single patch lasts for up to 3-4 days. Another advantage is that since it is a patch-based external medication, missing doses or accidentally taking too much with it becomes highly unlikely.
Evorel Sequi patches are known as continuous sequential HRT because the regime means it releases both the hormones in sequence. For the first half of the cycle, you have oestrogen alone whereas for the second half of the cycle you have oestrogen and progesterone together. The patches you use for week 1 and 2 are different and will only release oestrogen into your bloodstream, and the ones for week 3 and 4 will supplement both oestrogen and progesterone so that your body can overcome the effects of menopause effectively.
Each pack of Evorel Sequi patches contains half Evorel 50 patches and half Evorel Conti patches. While the Evorel 50 patches contain 3.2 mg of estradiol (releasing 50 micrograms every 24 hours), the Evorel Conti patches have 3.2 mg of estradiol (releasing 50 micrograms every 24 hours). The Evorel Conti patches also contain 11.2 mg of norethisterone acetate (releasing 170 micrograms every 24 hours).
Although it is almost impossible to overdose a patch, if you notice symptoms like breast tenderness or vaginal bleeding, simply remove your current patch and contact your doctor if symptoms persist. If you have forgotten to change your patch as per schedule, you can apply a new one as soon as you remember it. Remember to follow the changing days after that. Avoid doubling the dose by using two patches to make up for a missed one.
Since this is a patch based EvorelSequi supplement, you will apply it directly on the skin. The oestrogen passes from the skin slowly into the bloodstream. The patch needs to be changed twice a week.
When to start using EvorelSequipatch?
You begin using the patch when the menopausal symptoms become too distressing and start to affect your daily life. Normally, you will be using the patch at night so that the oestrogen can enter your body effectively.
Where to apply the EvorelSequipatch?
Once you break open the protective pouch over the patch, apply it directly, without delay onto a clean, dry, and cool patch of your skin. You can apply the EvorelSequi patch onto a hairless area somewhere below your waist. It should remain covered under loose clothing and away from direct sunlight.
Ensure that you:
Do not apply the patch twice in the same spot
Do not apply it anywhere near the breasts
Do not apply it on cuts, spots, or inflamed skin
Do not apply cream, moisturiser or talcum powder before using the patch
Do not wear tight, elasticated waistband clothing when applying the patch
How to put the patch on?
Step 1 How to open and peel the EvorelSequi patch
The notches work as a guide, and you have to tear along the two edges. Then, bend and peel half of the strip while the protective backing faces you.
Step 2 How to apply and press the EvorelSequi patch
Apply the open half of the patch to your skin whilst slowly removing the remaining strip. Firmly press down the patch using your palm to ensure that it is secure. In case you cut the patch, you must use adhesive tape to secure the patch.
Removing an EvorelSequi patch
Start by peeling an edge of the patch away from the skin in a smooth motion.
Slowly remove the entire patch and fold it in half with the sticky side facing inside.
Dispose of it with the household rubbish. Make sure it remains out of the reach of children and pets.
Do not flush used patches.
When you remove the EvorelSequi patch, you might notice some glue remain on your skin. Use warm soapy water to remove the remaining adhesive without damaging your skin. It will go away with time.

You should be aware that women using HRT suffer an increased risk of breast cancer, stroke and blood clots in the veins. You need to weigh this risk against the personal benefits of you taking HRT by thoroughly discussing it with your doctor. Consider investing in regular breast examinations and mammograms. You will also have to examine your breasts regularly and immediately report any changes in your breasts to a medical professional.
If you have to undergo surgery, particularly abdominal surgery or orthopaedic surgery, your doctor may recommend you cease taking HRT usually four to six weeks prior.
Lastly, remember that HRT does not provide contraception for women who are considered fertile for two years after their last menstrual period if under 50, or for one year if over 50. If you are taking HRT and also require contraception please discuss with our team.
