Estradot and Menopause

September 11, 2015 By: WeHeartFamilyandFriendscomment

Estradot and Menopause

Menopause begins one year after last menstruation and lasts for the rest of a woman’s life. During this time, level of estradiol within the female body drops rapidly.  Lack of this hormone can lead to various complications. Sometimes these issues can be very mild and some can be as severe as having a stroke and affects women between 45 and 51 years of age.  However, in recent years, there are more and more women in their thirties that are reporting initial symptoms of menopause.  Doctors from You! Drugstore believe that this change is caused by increased stress.

Another interesting research study shows that women with smaller numbers of egg cells are more likely to enter menopause at an early age.  There is a general misconception that menopause depends on first and last pregnancy yet may not hold true. Women who have early menopause have an increased chance of suffering from osteoporosis.

There are three general groups of menopause symptoms.  The first group is characterized by different mental and metabolic changes such as anxiety, depression and problems with memory, mood swings, insomnia, sensitivity, hot flushes and other similar changes.  The second group consists of symptoms such as increased blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular problems.  Muscle, joint and bone pain belong in the third group.  In addition to these problems, the skin becomes dry during menopause.  Loss of estrogen also affects mucous membranes of the vagina.  Tissue becomes dry so sexual intercourse can become very painful. Sexual desire is diminished which can also create a problems with partner as well as mental issues.

Like with any other medical condition, the patient needs to contact a doctor as soon she notices first changes.  Initial examination includes thorough blood analysis.  The patient needs to check estrogen levels because this hormone is the main cause for most menopausal changes.  Based on these results, the doctor can determine if the patient needs hormonal therapy.  It is important for hormones to stay in balance.  The patient shouldn’t have more or less than necessary.

Today, the best way of increasing estrogen and eliminating symptoms of menopause is by using drugs such as Estradot.  Medicine comes in a form of patch.  When a patient applies a patch on her body, estradiol level is slowly restored.  In some cases, the patient will be forced to use additional hormonal therapy in the form of progestin hormone.  Medical experts recommend Estradot as a great way to eliminate sweating, painful intercourse, uterine bleeding, hot flushes, chills and osteoporosis.  The patch is used twice a week, on same days.  It is usually applied on lower back, lower abdomen, buttocks or hip.  The patient needs to check his skin before the treatment.  If the tissue is damaged, infected or irritated, the patch should be applied somewhere else.  Do not put patch on the same place twice.  This can cause irritation.  Although Estradot provides great results in treating symptoms of menopause, it can lead to various side effects such as redness, nausea, memory problems, dry eyes, change in sex drive, back pain, excessive hair growth, headache and in some cases, even cancer.

SIRUM – Help Us to Make Access to Medication Affordable in the USA

SIRUM – Help Us to Make Access to Medication Affordable in the USA

SIRUM

Sirum helps to save lives by providing unopened unexpired medications to patients in need. Every year $5 billion of drugs are waster as medications are destroyed, flushed down the toilet or dumped. Sirum is working towards getting health facilities, pharmacies & hospitals, manufacturers and wholesalers, and more to donate these unopened unexpired medications to people in need.

I am asking if you would be willing to submit your own stories to the SIRUM website about a time you (or a loved one) could not afford medication.  Sirum will be approaching the US Congress on March 6th 2015 with these stories with the hope of influencing the future of healthcare in the USA.

On the Sirum Site, there will be a few simple questions that will be asked.  Nothing major, but they are below.

1. Which health issues did you or your loved one have trouble treating due to the high cost of medicine?
2. How else did not being able to afford medicine affect you or your loved one? (Health, finances, employment, etc.)
3. Are there any other details you can share, such as the name of the medications, their cost, or anything else?

 

Help me and Sirum to raise awareness of the millions of people who cannot afford expensive medication in the USA. Sirum wants to gather all of these stories and send them to US Congress on March 6th to demand more support for programs and policies that make medicine affordable for all.

Each of you can really make a difference and Washington needs to see the names and faces of the people who are struggling all across the USA.  Please submit your own story before the last day of February 2015.  You can submit your story HERE!

Hand with pills

Here is a little more of what SIRUM does to help those that can not afford medications.

SIRUM maintains lists of organizations that have expressed interest in contributing or receiving unused medications as well as a list of acceptable medications.  Donors will indicate which drugs they have, and recipients indicate which drugs they need.  The donor then decides what medications it would like to donate, and to whom.
The donor collects and records the medications it is contributing, typically using its usual destruction record keeping method.  The donor removes or renders illegible Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act-protected information from the medicine containers and ships the drugs directly to the recipient pharmacy using a pre-addressed, prepaid shipping label.   The donor submits a copy of its disposition/destruction record to SIRUM via the Internet or fax.  Donations are automatically picked up and shipped using SIRUM’s patent-pending technology platform.  A licensed pharmacist at the recipient pharmacy checks, inventories and repackages the medications for clients.  The donor receives quarterly reports estimating how many people its recycling has assisted.

This saves people like you and I time, money and the stress of not being able to get the medications needed.  There is no costs to the donors.   Lots of medications get wasted each year, while low-income families or people on fixed incomes go without the medications needed, because they are high cost and can not afford them.  Between $6 and $9 Billion Dollars worth of medications are being wasted every year that others could be using.

SIRUM as already donated $400,000 worth of medications at wholesale value to facilities that administer the medications to people who need them.  SIRUM only wants to charge a small percentage of the value of the medication it delivers, saving people like you and I.  This eliminates wasted medications.

If you or someone you know, has a story please GO HERE and show your support for this program.  This must be done by February 28th.  This is being taken to Congress soon after.  Thank you to everyone for your help!
