About Evorel Sequi Patches
Evorel Sequi patch is a combined hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to treat symptoms of menopause. Most HRT treatments involve daily tablets. However, Evorel Sequi is a patch placed on the skin and changed twice weekly. Evorel Sequi is known as sequential hormone replacement therapy. It contains two types of patches that, over 4 weeks, release two active ingredients which imitate the female sex hormones, oestrogen and progesterone. It is an easy alternative for patients who prefer not to swallow tablets daily.
Evorel Sequi Patches are an easy way to ease the life-altering symptoms of menopause, like hot flushes, strong heartbeat, osteoporosis, dryness of the eyes, mood swings, reduced sex drive, night sweats, vaginal dryness, irritability, insomnia, and pain during sex.

How do Evorel Sequi Patches work?
Evorel Sequi patches work by restoring the hormonal balance in the body, reducing or preventing menopausal symptoms from occurring. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) eases the symptoms of menopause by supplementing the levels of hormones that the body can produce naturally.
Evorel Sequi is a continuous sequential HRT. This is because two hormones are active one after another:
● The patch supplies estradiol for two weeks.
● Then estradiol and norethisterone are provided together for the next two weeks.
Evorel Sequi patches replace the hormone oestrogen, usually released by the ovaries. However, taking an oestrogen hormone daily may cause the lining of your womb to build up and get thicker.
● It is vital to add a progestogen hormone to the oestrogen.
● This helps shed the womb’s lining and stop any problems from happening. Evorel Conti patches for weeks 3 and 4 contain this progestogen.
The shedding of the womb’s lining will probably give a withdrawal of bleeding. It will be like having a period each month. The withdrawal bleeding will start during week 4 before you finish an Evorel Sequi pack.
How long does it take for Evorel Sequi patches to work?
Everol Sequi patches begin working as soon as you apply them. However, it may take you a week or two to notice the benefits of it.
Note that it is crucial to keep in mind that the exact time it takes an individual to feel the effects of Everol Sequi patches typically varies from person to person. So if the treatment works within a week for someone else, it may be entirely different for you. But, if you have reason to believe that the patches are not working for you, you should consult your GP about possible solutions or alternative treatments.
How effective are Evorel Sequi patches?
Evorel Sequi patches are considered incredibly effective. Experts say they treat a wide range of symptoms caused by menopause effectively. This may include physical symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats as well as vaginal dryness. In addition to this, the patches help with psychological symptoms such as depression and mood swings, too.
Alternative treatments to Evorel Sequi
Inform your GP if Evorel Sequi patches are not suitable for you. There are various alternatives to these patches, such as topical creams. Your GP will help you determine the best menopausal treatment for you.

How to apply Evorel Sequi Patch?
- Always change the patch on the same days every week.
- One patch is for three days, and the following patch is for four days.
- Apply the Evorel Sequi Patch to dry and clean skin. Press down firmly to ensure that the patch is in place.
- Do not place the new patch on the exact same part of the skin.
- Evorel should not be used on or around the breasts, broken skin or under elasticated parts of clothing.
For how long can I use the Evorel Sequi Patch?
You can use Evorel Sequi Patch for several years to ease the side effects of menopause. In the UK, the average menopause age in women is 51, though some women start normal menopause as early as 45. Menopausal symptoms usually last between 4 and 5 years, so in most situations, HRT may be used during this time.
HRT must only be necessary as a relatively short-term treatment as your body adjusts to menopause. You should review your HRT with your GP at least once each year and have regular gynaecological checkups.
Cautions
What are the side effects of the Evorel Sequi Patch?
Aside from the benefits of Evorel Sequi Patches, there are potential side effects which may be experienced by some women and not by others. Doctors usually recommend waiting at least 12 weeks before changing HRT so your body may get used to the effects of the hormones and balance out. After this time, most women find their side effects disappear. However, you may speak to your doctor anytime if you are concerned.
The potential side effects of the patch are
- headache.
- breast tenderness/pain.
- nausea.
- diarrhoea.
- stomach pain.
- painful joints.
- tingling in the hands or feet.
- vaginal bleeding or discharge.
- breakthrough bleeding.
- painful periods.
- anxiety.
- mood swings.
- water retention.
- fatigue.
- dizziness.
- weight gain.
- itchiness or inflamed skin where the patch is applied.
Stop using Evorel Patch and seek medical attention immediately if you notice early signs of any of the following:
- Blood clots – pain and swelling of the legs, difficulty breathing.
- Stroke – sudden migraines, blurred vision.
- Heart disease – chest pain which extends to the neck or arm.
- Liver disease – yellow colouration of the skin or eyes.
In case you are worried about these adverse effects, or if the product affects you in any other way, stop using it immediately and talk to your GP or a pharmacist.
Other warnings to consider
HRT pose an increased risk of developing breast cancer, endometrium or ovaries. However, combined HRTs such as Evorel Sequi Patches help to lower this risk in women who have not had their wombs removed.
Evorel Sequi Patches are not recommended for women with heart disease or a heart attack, as HRT can affect the heart and circulation.
Blood clots are likely to occur in HRT users. The risk of developing them, especially in the first year of using a treatment, may be increased in certain situations if you:
- May have cancer which is sensitive to oestrogen (including uterine cancer)
- Ever had breast cancer
- Have untreated endometrial hyperplasia (an excessively thick womb lining)
- Have recently had a heart attack or stroke
- Suffer from a blood clotting disease or have ever had a blood clot
- Have a history of liver disease
- Have unexplained vaginal bleeding
- You are allergic to the ingredients of the patch
- Suffer from porphyria (a rare hereditary blood disease)
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Inform your GP if you plan to use Evorel Sequi Patch and have ever had any of the following health complications:
- Impaired liver function
- Fibroids
- Uterine problems, including endometriosis or endometrial hyperplasia
- High risk of blood clots
- Circulation problems (e.g. angina, heart attack)
- Migraine
- Diabetes
- Gallstones
- Systemic lupus erythematosus
- Fluid retention
- Asthma
- Epilepsy
- High blood pressure
- Otosclerosis (a hereditary ear disorder)
- High-fat levels in the blood
- History of severe allergic reactions
- A family history of breast cancer or another oestrogen-sensitive cancer
Evorel Sequi, Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
You should not use Evorel Sequi patches if you are pregnant. Likewise, you should not use them if you have had a natural period in the last year. Additionally, avoid using the patches if you are under 50 – unless doctors advise otherwise.
Similarly, if you are breastfeeding, you should not use Evorel Sequi patches as an excess of oestrogen could be transferred to the fetus, creating health complications.
Lastly, please make sure to read all packaging and the Patient Information Leaflet before you try any new medication. In addition, you should continually update your GP regarding medicines you are taking or intend to take.
Go through the patient information leaflet thoroughly before starting your treatment. The patient information can be found here.
Faq
What is Osteoporosis?
The weakening of the bones due to reduced oestrogen levels is osteoporosis. It is more common in women who have reached menopause. Oestrogen from HRT may prevent osteoporosis in the short term. However, once you stop HRT, you may again experience osteoporosis.
What is the active ingredient of the Evorel Sequi Patch?
The active ingredients in the Evorel Sequi patch are estradiol hemihydrate and synthetic progesterone.
How do I cope with heavy periods during menopause?
Menorrhagia, or heavy periods, is common in women between thirty and fifty. It may be due to fibroids, blood blisters, cysts or polyps in or around the uterus. Also, it may result from the changing hormone balance around the time of menopause or the process of ovaries ageing and failing. Consult your GP if you experience menorrhagia, as it is often a cause of further illness.
