Evamist.com – What is Evamist® (estradiol transdermal spray)

What is Evamist?

During menopause, your body produces less estrogen, causing many of the symptoms associated with menopause.¹ Evamist uses 17ß-estradiol, an estrogen

chemically synthesized from a plant source.² This does not mean Evamist is safer or more effective than other hormone therapies. Evamist is the only estrogen therapy spray approved by the FDA.

Though there are other products that contain estradiol, only Evamist is a once-daily spray. It delivers low doses of estrogen directly through the skin (transdermally) to your bloodstream.^3,4

Most important, Evamist has been proven to reduce moderate-to-severe hot flashes caused by menopause. It has been shown to reduce both the severity and frequency of hot flashes—all in a low dose of estrogen.³ Doctors agree that hormone therapy should always be used at the lowest effective dose.¹ Evamist makes that easy to do.

Evamist has what women are looking for in an estrogen therapy

Based on a study of women who used Evamist, 82% would recommend Evamist to a friend.^*2 Also, for women who had previously tried an estrogen patch, 3 out of 4 women reported that Evamist was more convenient than their previous patch therapy.^†2

Is Evamist right for you?

Evamist may be right for you. With so many products available for the symptoms of menopause, it can be hard to sift through the array of patches, lotions, gels, and pills. It’s confusing at best, and can be overwhelming for most. Don’t try to decipher it all on your own. Every woman is unique, and it’s important to spend time working with your doctor to create a healthcare plan tailored to your specific needs.

Just because your mother suffered through her menopause symptoms doesn’t mean you have to. Talk to your doctor to see if Evamist may be right for you.
