Important Safety InformationElestrin is indicated for the treatment of moderate-to-severe vasomotor symptoms associated with menopause.

Estrogens, with or without progestins, should not be used for the prevention of cardiovascular disease or dementia. Estrogen and progestin therapy has shown an increased risk of breast cancer, heart attack, and blood clots. Estrogen therapy, with or without progestins, increases the risk of stroke and dementia. Estrogen therapy alone increases the risk of endometrial cancer. The most frequently reported adverse events in clinical trials were nasopharyngitis, breast tenderness, upper respiratory tract infection, and metrorrhagia.

A Survey of 300 untreated menopausal women reveal what they want from the application of transdermal estrogen therapy†:

"I want a product I can apply and forget it."

"I’d rather just rub the product in and forget it’s there."

"For me, it’s easier to get into a daily habit."

"I like the control of applying [it] right on my upper arm."

"Make it clear and easy to apply."
