Each of these hormone delivery systems comes with its own pros and cons which must be carefully considered. There can be a number of reasons why you may want to choose a transdermal patch over oral pills. Some reasons relate to convenience and others to health. Below are five of these reasons:
Patches don’t make the first pass through the digestive system.
Estrogen patches contain bio-identical estradiol.
Patches don’t have to be remembered on a daily basis.
Estrogen patches may not carry the blood clots risk of estrogen pills.
Estrogen patches can offer a steadier dose of hormones.
