How Long Does Evorel Conti Take to Work?

The time it takes for Evorel Conti to relieve menopausal symptoms can vary from person to person. However, many women notice a significant improvement in their symptoms within a few weeks of starting the treatment. Although, it is common for it to take a couple of months to feel the full effects.

What is Evorel Conti?

Evorel Conti is a type of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) used to manage symptoms of menopause. It encompasses two hormones, estradiol and norethisterone, that are released by means of a patch placed on the skin. 

This makes sure that there is a constant release of hormones, thereby making it possible to reduce symptoms related to menopause. 

It also helps prevent some health issues that might come about owing to low levels of oestrogen for a long time.

Understanding how it works and how long it takes to see results can help you set realistic expectations for your treatment.

How to use Evorel Conti Patches

• Evorel Conti patches are sticky patches applied directly to the skin.
