The transdermal alternative
Evamist contains what is called "17β-estradiol," an estrogen chemically synthesized from a plant source, and is not derived from any animal product. This does not mean Evamist is safer or more effective than other hormone therapies. Because Evamist is transdermal (delivered through the skin), the estrogen goes directly to the bloodstream and acts to reduce moderate-to-severe hot flashes in your system.1-3

The Evamist applicator is designed to release the same low dose of estrogen with each spray, so you will always apply the right amount of medication.1 Now read how easy it is to use!

Important Safety Information
Evamist® is approved by the FDA for use after menopause to reduce moderate-to-severe hot flashes.

Estrogens increase the chance of getting cancer of the uterus (womb). Report any unusual vaginal bleeding right away while you are using Evamist. Vaginal bleeding after menopause may be a warning sign of cancer of the uterus. Your healthcare provider should check any unusual vaginal bleeding to find out the cause.

Do not use estrogens with or without progestins to prevent heart disease, heart attacks, strokes, or dementia. Using estrogens, with or without progestins, may increase your chance of getting heart attacks, strokes, breast cancer, and blood clots. Using estrogen, with or without progestins, may increase your risk of dementia, based on a study of women age 65 years or older. Evamist should not be used if you have unusual vaginal bleeding; currently have or have had certain cancers, including cancer of the breast or uterus; had a stroke or heart attack in the past year; currently have or have had blood clots; currently have or have had liver problems; or think you may be, or know that you are, pregnant.

The most common side effects that may occur with Evamist are headache, breast tenderness, the common cold, nipple pain, back pain, nausea, and joint pain.

You and your healthcare provider should talk regularly about whether you still need treatment with Evamist.
