They are produced by the body and are necessary for the normal sexual development of the female and for the regulation of the menstrual cycle during the childbearing years. The ovaries begin to produce less estrogen after menopause (the change of life). This medicine is prescribed to make up for the lower amount of estrogen. Estrogens help relieve signs of menopause, such as hot flashes and unusual sweating, chills, faintness, or dizziness. Estrogens are prescribed for several reasons: To provide additional hormone when the body does not produce enough of its own, such as during menopause or when female puberty (development of female sexual organs) does not occur on time. Other conditions include a genital skin condition (vulvar atrophy), inflammation of the vagina (atrophic vaginitis), or ovary problems (female hypogonadism or failure or removal of both ovaries). To help prevent weakening of bones (osteoporosis) in women past menopause. In the treatment of selected cases of breast cancer in men and women. In the treatment of cancer of the prostate in men. Estrogens may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor. There is no medical evidence to support the belief that the use of estrogens will keep the patient feeling young, keep the skin soft, or delay the appearance of wrinkles. Nor has it been proven that the use of estrogens during menopause will relieve emotional and nervous symptoms, unless these symptoms are caused by other menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes or hot flushes. Estrogens are available only with your doctor's prescription.

Precautions While Using Evamist It is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits to make sure this medicine does not cause unwanted effects . These visits will usually be every year, but some doctors require them more often. In some patients using estrogens, tenderness, swelling, or bleeding of the gums may occur. Brushing and flossing your teeth carefully and regularly and massaging your gums may help prevent this. See your dentist regularly to have your teeth cleaned. Check with your medical doctor or dentist if you have any questions about how to take care of your teeth and gums, or if you notice any tenderness, swelling, or bleeding of your gums. Although the incidence is low, the use of estrogens may increase you chance of getting cancer of the breast, ovaries, or uterus (womb) . Therefore, it is very important that you regularly check your breasts for any unusual lumps or discharge. Report any problems to your doctor . You should also have a mammogram (x-ray pictures of the breasts) done if your doctor recommends it. Because breast cancer has occurred in men taking estrogens, regular breast self-exams and exams by your doctor for any unusual lumps or discharge should be done. If your menstrual periods have stopped, they may start again . This effect will continue for as long as the medicine is taken. However, if taking the continuous treatment (0.625 mg conjugated estrogens and 2.5 mg medroxyprogesterone once a day), monthly bleeding usually stops within 10 months. Also, vaginal bleeding between your regular menstrual periods may occur during the first 3 months of use. Do not stop taking your medicine. Check with your doctor if bleeding continues for an unusually long time, if your period has not started within 45 days of your last period, or if you think you are pregnant . Tell the doctor in charge that you are using this medicine before having any laboratory test because some results may be affected. Check with your child's doctor right away if your child starts to have the following symptoms: nipple or breast swelling or tenderness in females, or enlargement of the breasts in males. Your child may have been exposed to Evamist transdermal spray . Do not allow your pets to lick or touch the arm where Evamist transdermal spray was applied. Small pets may be sensitive to this medicine. Call your pet's veterinarian if your pet starts to have the following symptoms: nipple or breast enlargement, swelling of the vulva, or any signs of illness. Evamist Side Effects Women rarely have severe side effects from taking estrogens to replace estrogen. Discuss these possible effects with your doctor: The prolonged use of estrogens has been reported to increase the risk of endometrial cancer (cancer of the lining of the uterus) in women after menopause. This risk seems to increase as the dose and the length of use increase. When estrogens are used in low doses for less than 1 year, there is less risk. The risk is also reduced if a progestin (another female hormone) is added to, or replaces part of, your estrogen dose. If the uterus has been removed by surgery (total hysterectomy), there is no risk of endometrial cancer. Although the incidence is low, the use of estrogens may increase you chance of getting cancer of the breast. Breast cancer has been reported in men taking estrogens. Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention. The following side effects may be caused by blood clots, which could lead to stroke, heart attack, or death. These side effects occur rarely, and, when they do occur, they occur in men treated for cancer using high doses of estrogens. Check with your doctor immediately if any of the following side effects occur: More common Breast pain (in females and males) fast heartbeat fever hives hoarseness increased breast size (in females and males) irritation of the skin itching of the skin joint pain, stiffness, or swelling rash redness of the skin shortness of breath swelling of the eyelids, face, lips, hands, or feet swelling of the feet and lower legs tightness in the chest troubled breathing or swallowing weight gain (rapid) wheezing Less common or rare Changes in vaginal bleeding (spotting, breakthrough bleeding, prolonged or heavier bleeding, or complete stoppage of bleeding) chest pain chills cough heavy non-menstrual vaginal bleeding lumps in, or discharge from, breast (in females and males) pains in the stomach, side, or abdomen yellow eyes or skin Rare - for males being treated for breast or prostate cancer only Headache (sudden or severe) loss of coordination (sudden) loss of vision or change of vision (sudden) pains in the chest, groin, or leg, especially in the calf of leg shortness of breath (sudden and unexplained) slurring of speech (sudden) weakness or numbness in the arm or leg Incidence not known Abdominal or stomach bloating abdominal or stomach cramps acid or sour stomach anxiety backache belching blindness blistering, peeling, or loosening of the skin blue-yellow color blindness blurred vision change in vaginal discharge changes in skin color changes in vision chest discomfort clay-colored stools clear or bloody discharge from nipple confusion constipation convulsions dark urine decrease in the amount of urine decreased vision depression diarrhea difficulty with breathing difficulty with speaking dimpling of the breast skin dizziness double vision dry mouth eye pain fainting fluid-filled skin blisters full feeling in upper abdomen or stomach full or bloated feeling or pressure in the stomach headache heartburn inability to move the arms, legs, or facial muscles inability to speak incoherent speech increased urination indigestion inverted nipple irregular heartbeats light-colored stools lightheadedness loss of appetite loss of bladder control lump under the arm metallic taste migraine headache mood or mental changes muscle cramps in the hands, arms, feet, legs, or face muscle pain muscle spasm or jerking of all extremities muscle weakness nausea noisy breathing numbness or tingling of the hands, feet, or face pain in the ankles or knees pain or discomfort in the arms, jaw, back or neck pain or feeling of pressure in the pelvis pain, tenderness, swelling of the foot or leg painful or tender cysts in the breasts painful, red lumps under the skin, mostly on the legs pains in the chest, groin, or legs, especially calves of the legs partial or complete loss of vision in the eye pelvic pain persistent crusting or scaling of nipple pinpoint red or purple spots on the skin prominent superficial veins over affected area red, irritated eyes redness or swelling of the breast sensitivity to the sun severe headaches of sudden onset skin thinness skin warmth slow speech sore on the skin of the breast that does not heal sore throat sores, ulcers, or white spots in the mouth or on the lips stomach discomfort, upset, or pain sudden loss of consciousness sudden loss of coordination sudden onset of shortness of breath for no apparent reason sudden onset of slurred speech sudden vision changes swelling of the abdominal or stomach area swelling of the fingers or hands thirst tremor unpleasant breath odor unusual tiredness or weakness vomiting vomiting of blood weight loss Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects. Check with your health care professional if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome or if you have any questions about them: More common Abnormal growth filled with fluid or semisolid material accidental injury bladder pain bloated full feeling bloody or cloudy urine body aches or pain coating or white patches on tongue congestion cough producing mucus decrease in amount of urine difficult, burning, or painful urination discouragement dryness of the throat ear congestion or pain excess air or gas in the stomach or intestines fear feeling of warmth feeling sad or empty frequent urge to urinate general feeling of discomfort or illness headache, severe and throbbing increased clear or white vaginal discharge irritability itching of the vaginal, rectal or genital areas lack of appetite lack or loss of strength loss of interest or pleasure mild dizziness neck pain nervousness pain pain during sexual intercourse painful or difficult urination pain or tenderness around the eyes and cheekbones passing gas redness of the face, neck, arms, and occasionally, upper chest runny nose skin irritation or redness where skin patch was worn shivering sleeplessness sneezing sore mouth or tongue stuffy nose sudden sweating tender, swollen glands in the neck thick, white vaginal discharge with no odor or with a mild odor tiredness trouble concentrating trouble sleeping unable to sleep voice changes Less common Blemishes on the skin burning, crawling, itching, numbness, prickling, "pins and needles", or tingling feelings burning or stinging of the skin diarrhea (mild) difficulty with moving dizziness (mild) increased hair growth, especially on the face lower abdominal or stomach pain or pressure mood or mental changes muscle stiffness painful cold sores or blisters on the lips, nose, eyes, or genitals pimples pounding in the ears problems in wearing contact lenses slow heartbeat tooth or gum pain unusual decrease in sexual desire (in males) unusual increase in sexual desire (in females) white or brownish vaginal discharge Incidence not known Abnormal turning out of cervix changes in appetite dull ache or feeling of pressure or heaviness in the legs flushed, dry skin fruit-like breath odor increased hunger irritability large amount of triglyceride in the blood leg cramps patchy brown or dark brown discoloration of the skin poor insight and judgment problems with memory or speech trouble recognizing objects trouble thinking and planning trouble walking twitching, uncontrolled movements of the tongue, lips, face, arms, or legs unexpected or excess milk flow from the breasts Also, many women who are taking estrogens with a progestin (another female hormone) will start having monthly vaginal bleeding, similar to menstrual periods, again. This effect will continue for as long as the medicine is taken. However, monthly bleeding will not occur in women who have had the uterus removed by surgery (total hysterectomy). This medicine may cause loss or thinning of the scalp hair in some people. Other side effects not listed may also occur in some patients.
