Combipatch (Estradiol/Norethindrone) is a transdermal hormone therapy that is used to manage symptoms like vaginal itching, burning or dryness caused by menopause. Combipatch contains two hormones: an estrogen (estradiol) and a progestin (norethindrone). It works by replacing natural progestin and estrogen in women who do not produce enough of these hormones. Women who have had their uterus removed do not need progestin and should not use this combination medication. Other alternative medications that provide menopausal systems relief include: Climara and Vivelle Dot.
CombiPatch Significantly Improves Women's Sexual Quality of Life Compared With Prempro in a Randomized Trial - 2003, RG Rogers, JA Simon, VV Ragavan, found that "after 20 weeks, one third of the CombiPatch treated women reported improvement in sexual QQL scores, nearly twice that of Prempro-treated women, and fewer CombiPatch-treated women reported poorer sexual QQL than Prempro-treated women.”
