Summary

Objective:
To show possibilities of new application method of estrogen replacement therapy – mettered-dose transdermal spray.

Design:
Review article

Results:
Transdermal spray contains 1.53 mg estradiol in one dose. It gives possibility of individual aproach in estradiol application 1, 2 or 3 doses daily. About 85% of patients showed the significant reduction of hot flushes. Perfect safety profile is predicted especially in cardiovascular point.

KEYWORDS:
mettered-dose transdermal spray, hormone replacement therapy, perimenopausal symptoms, tromboembolic desease
