Evamist—the estrogen therapy spray for moderate-to-severe hot flashes

What is Evamist?

Evamist is the only estrogen therapy spray approved by the FDA. It uses 17β-estradiol—a compound produced from plants to be similar to the estrogen hormone your body produces. During menopause, your body produces less of this estrogen, causing many of the symptoms associated with menopause. Learn more about plant-based Evamist.^1,2

Though there are other products that contain estradiol, only Evamist is a once-daily spray. It delivers low doses of estrogen directly through the skin (transdermally) to your bloodstream, which means it doesn’t first get processed by your liver.^1,3 Since your liver has to process a lot, even when you are not taking hormone therapy, the less work your liver has to do, the better.

Most importantly, Evamist has been proven to reduce moderate-to-severe hot flashes caused by menopause. It has been shown to reduce both the severity and frequency of hot flashes—all in a low dose of estrogen.¹ Doctors agree that hormone therapy should always be used at the lowest effective dose.⁴ Evamist makes that easy to do.

Is Evamist right for you?

Evamist may be right for you. With so many products available for the symptoms of menopause, it can be hard to sift through the array of patches, lotion, gels, and pills. It’s confusing at best, and can be overwhelming for most. Don’t try to decipher it all on your own. Every woman is unique, and it’s important to spend time working with your doctor to create a healthcare plan tailored to your specific needs.

Just because your mother suffered through her menopause symptoms doesn’t mean you have to. Talk to your doctor to see if Evamist may be right for you.
