What is the Climara?

The Climara is a transdermal hormone therapy used to treat symptoms of menopause including hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and mood changes caused by declining estrogen levels. It delivers estradiol—the primary form of estrogen—continuously through the skin, bypassing the digestive system and liver for a steadier hormone level compared to oral estrogen. Depending on the formulation, patches are changed once or twice weekly. For women with a uterus, a progestin is typically prescribed alongside it to protect the uterine lining.

Transdermal estrogen delivery

Releases estradiol directly through the skin into the bloodstream, bypassing first-pass liver metabolism—producing more stable hormone levels than oral estrogen and potentially reducing certain liver-related risks.

Menopausal symptom relief

Restores estrogen levels that decline during menopause, directly addressing the hormonal deficiency responsible for hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, sleep disruption, and mood instability.

Steady-state hormonal control

Unlike pills that create peaks and troughs in hormone levels throughout the day, the patch provides continuous, consistent estradiol delivery—reducing symptom fluctuation and making hormone levels easier to manage and adjust.
