Menopause is the point when a woman’s menstrual periods stop and the ovaries stop producing estrogen and progesterone. Menopause affects each woman differently. Some women experience very few symptoms, while others may experience hot flashes, trouble sleeping, mood changes, vaginal and urinary problems.

You may be able to reduce the unpleasant symptoms associated with menopause with Minivelle, an estradiol transdermal system. Minivelle contains a plant-based estrogen that is the same chemically as the estrogen that is naturally produced by your body. Minivelle is a prescription medicine patch that contains an estrogen hormone called estradiol. Minivelle is used to treat moderate to severe hot flashes due to menopause. Minivelle stays in place when you shower or exercise and causes little or no skin irritation.

You will need to consult with a doctor and receive a prescription to buy Minivelle. Certain medical conditions may preclude you from being able to safely use Minivelle. Minivelle should be used at the lowest effective dose and for the shortest duration necessary to treat menopause symptoms. The most common side effects associated with the use of Minivelle include nausea, breast tenderness, headaches and bloating.
