Evorel is a patch form of oestrogen replacement therapy. It is a discreet, skin coloured patch which is changed twice per week. It is a transdermal form of HRT, meaning that it delivers oestrogen through the skin rather than through the mouth. Evorel is used as part of a HRT plan, prescribed alongside a progesterone for women who have a womb.

Updated on 1st August 2025What is Evorel?
It is an oestrogen-only patch that delivers a steady, low dose of estradiol, a body identical form of oestrogen, through the skin and into the bloodstream.
Evorel works by restoring oestrogen levels in the body. It is a systemic form of HRT, which means that it circulates throughout the body. This helps relieve widespread symptoms of menopause.
It can be used whether or not you've had a hysterectomy, it’s prescribed on its own if you don’t have a womb, or alongside progesterone if you do.
Why choose Evorel?
Evorel delivers oestrogen as a light skin-coloured patch which is changed twice per week. Many women find patches a very easy form of HRT to use, as they are applied to the skin and are easier to remember than taking tablets daily.
Benefits of Evorel
Evorel helps relieve a wide range of symptoms related to low oestrogen. There are over 40 symptoms of perimenopause and menopause, some of the most common ones are listed here.
