The Evamist® applicator is designed with your patients in mind
 
Evamist is dosed once daily with 1, 2, or 3 sprays applied to a small area on the inner forearm. Each applicator accurately delivers 75 sprays, giving your patients the right amount of medicine they need each time they use the applicator.1
 
Flexible titration with 3 dosing options in 1 applicator
  • You can adjust the patient’s dose with 1, 2, or 3 sprays of Evamist,
    as needed1:
    • Dosing adjustments are made by increasing (or decreasing) the number of sprays per day
    • No need to issue a new prescription to patients initially for dosing adjustments
 
Metered-dose technology for accurate delivery
 
  • The metered-dose transdermal spray (MDTS) applicator delivers consistent and accurate amounts of estradiol1
  • Each metered dose ensures that patients apply 1.53 mg of estradiol per spray, delivering 0.021 mg of estradiol to the bloodstream with 1 spray1,2
  • Estradiol is absorbed into the stratum corneum, forming a long-lasting depot2
  • Estradiol is released into the bloodstream on a sustained basis, providing a practical and convenient once-daily dosing regimen1,2
 
Flexibility to customize progestogen therapy
 
  • May be used in women with or without a uterus
  • Flexibility to choose progestogen therapy based on your professional judgment
  • In the Evamist pivotal trial of 454 women, 39% of subjects had an intact uterus2
    • At the end of the 12-week treatment period with Evamist, these subjects received a daily dose of MPA for 2 weeks3
    • Only 1 patient treated with Evamist reported vaginal spotting following MPA administration2
 
* Before using the applicator for the first time, it must be primed 3 times with the cover on by pressing down the applicator button with your thumb or index finger.
