Several new estrogen patches will be hitting the market.
First Alora from Procter & Gamble...then FemPatch later this year from Schering. In the future, there will even be a combo estrogen and progestin patch.
Alora is a thin patch with the drug embedded in the adhesive.
It comes in three strengths...0.05, 0.075, and 0.1 mg/day.
Tell women to apply Alora TWICE a week...like Estraderm and Vivelle. Climara is the only ONCE a week estrogen patch.
