Everything you need to know about Evorel Conti patches

Evorel Conti is a form of continuous combined Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). It contains both oestrogen and progestogen in a single patch, designed for women who are postmenopausal (at least 12 months since their last period). Continuous HRT means that both hormones are delivered every day without a break, helping to keep hormone levels stable and preventing a monthly bleed.

The progesterone in the patch protects the lining of the womb.
