What is Combipatch?

Combipatch, with the generic name estradiol-norethindrone acetate, is a transdermal system indicated to treat moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms associated with menopause. It is also used for the symptomatic relief of vulvar and vaginal atrophy linked with menopause. It also treats hypoestrogenism because of hypogonadism, castration, and primary ovarian failure.

This is available in CombiPatch 0.05/0.14 mg and 0.05/0.25 mg dosage forms.

How does Combipatch work?

This drug is a combination of estrogen and progestin-HRT. Primarily, estrogen is responsible for the development and maintenance of the female reproductive system and secondary sexual characteristics. It also modulates the pituitary secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and gonadotropins through a negative feedback mechanism. Thus, the elevated levels of these hormones will reduce in postmenopausal women.
