Estradiol is a form of estrogen, and these patches are one way to deliver the hormone transdermally, or through the skin. Transdermal estrogen is often prescribed by menopause care specialists because the delivery keeps the estrogen from being processed by the liver, and thus does not increase the risk of blood clots or cardiac events.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reasons for the shortage aren\u2019t entirely clear, though it is likely a combination of preexisting supply chain issues, the impacts of tariffs on overseas drug manufacturers, and an increased demand for the patches after a regulatory shift. In November, the Food and Drug Administration <a href=\"https:\/\/19thnews.org\/2025\/10\/fda-black-box-warning-menopause-estrogen-treatments\/\">lifted<\/a> the 20-year old black box warning on estrogen products used in menopausal hormone therapy warning of serious adverse effects, which likely has made these drugs feel more accessible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Systemic estrogen \u2014 the form of hormone therapy utilized via patch \u2014 treats some of the best-known, and most disruptive, symptoms of menopause: hot flashes, night sweats, heart palpitations and mood changes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"block_de0bc781db94f672725ce718dd72ddc3\" class=\"wp-block related-post alignwide\">\n      <div class=\"wrap\">\n    <div class=\"section-title\">\n      <h4>Related<\/h4>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"post-wrap\">\n              <div class=\"thumbnail\">\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/menopause-care-grows-up-we-want-to-be-the-company-for-aging-beautifully\/\" class=\"post-image-link\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Joanna-Strober-CEO-1-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Joanna-Strober-CEO-1-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Joanna-Strober-CEO-1-1-525x525.jpg 525w, https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Joanna-Strober-CEO-1-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Joanna-Strober-CEO-1-1-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Joanna-Strober-CEO-1-1-84x84.jpg 84w, https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Joanna-Strober-CEO-1-1-60x60.jpg 60w, https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Joanna-Strober-CEO-1-1-45x45.jpg 45w, https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Joanna-Strober-CEO-1-1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\n          <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"entry-text\">\n          <h3 class=\"post-title\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/menopause-care-grows-up-we-want-to-be-the-company-for-aging-beautifully\/\">\n              Menopause Care Grows Up: &#8216;We Want to Be the Company for Aging Beautifully&#8217;\n            <\/a>\n          <\/h3>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<p>But experts say that if you can\u2019t find the patch you\u2019ve been prescribed to address these symptoms, there are other options.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drstreicher.com\/\">Dr. Lauren Streicher<\/a>, professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University and author of a forthcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aarp.org\/pri\/topics\/health\/conditions-treatment\/menopause-resources\/\">AARP<\/a> book on menopause, said there\u2019s no need to panic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter how it gets in there, it\u2019s going to help your hot flashes, it\u2019s going to help your symptoms,\u201d Streicher said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patches are not the only form of transdermal estrogen available \u2014 and in fact, all transdermal estrogens use the same drug, often manufactured by the same company and then distributed to pharmaceutical companies. So, some end up in transdermal patches, but there are also gels, creams and sprays that go on your skin and have the same active ingredient.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Transdermal estrogen isn\u2019t the only form of estrogen available for hormone therapy either, Streicher explained.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oral estrogen \u2014 taken via pill \u2014 is also a safe form of estrogen for many people, depending on their medical history. For someone who does not have a history of blood clots, it can be a great option. It also has been shown to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ahajournals.org\/doi\/10.1161\/01.cir.93.10.1928\">lower cholesterol levels<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ahajournals.org\/doi\/10.1161\/01.cir.93.10.1928\">reduce lipids<\/a>, both great for heart health.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some patients may turn to oral estrogen because the non-patch transdermal options are often not covered by insurance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Streicher advises against going to compounding pharmacies to help bridge the gap, as it is impossible to know the exact dosing you are actually receiving in the products dispensed there.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the systemic dose of estrogen leaves your body, any symptoms you are experiencing will return \u2014 how long this takes will vary from person to person \u2014 but Streicher assured that the impacts of going off the patch won\u2019t be more severe than that. \u201cYour brain isn\u2019t going to start eating itself,\u201d she noted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But other than discomfort, there is no inherent danger in going off hormone therapy for a time. Likewise, there is no danger in resuming again once you have access to hormone therapy of choice \u2014 and yes, your symptoms will once again abate once you resume taking your estrogen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the face of a shortage, Streicher advised that those wishing to continue on hormone therapy seek out the care of a gynecologist who is well-versed in menopause care and is very familiar with the various forms of estrogen used in menopausal hormone therapy and its dosing. Seeing someone who specializes in menopause care can help ensure you have options if you want to continue on hormone therapy, even if you can\u2019t find patches. (Can\u2019t find a menopause specialist by you? There are also many telehealth services that focus on hormone therapy specifically and connect patients with menopause specialists who can prescribe it.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"block_eff10afe275b32b77e15c14ce2a34091\" class=\"wp-block related-post alignwide\">\n      <div class=\"wrap\">\n    <div class=\"section-title\">\n      <h4>Related<\/h4>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"post-wrap\">\n              <div class=\"thumbnail\">\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/gabrielle-union-lets-talk-more-about-periods-perimenopause\/\" class=\"post-image-link\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Gabrielle_Union_Knix_Campaign-150x150.webp\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Gabrielle_Union_Knix_Campaign-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Gabrielle_Union_Knix_Campaign-96x96.webp 96w, https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Gabrielle_Union_Knix_Campaign-84x84.webp 84w, https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Gabrielle_Union_Knix_Campaign-45x45.webp 45w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\n          <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"entry-text\">\n          <h3 class=\"post-title\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/gabrielle-union-lets-talk-more-about-periods-perimenopause\/\">\n              Gabrielle Union: Let&#8217;s Talk More About Periods, Perimenopause\n            <\/a>\n          <\/h3>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is nuanced stuff,\u201d Streicher said. \u201cIt takes an expert to be able to help somebody with that. and most people out there, especially if you have someone who only prescribes patches, is going to be scratching their head and saying, \u2018I don\u2019t know how to help you.\u2019 So keep looking.
