What is Lenzetto® (Estradiol) Transdermal Spray?
Lenzetto® is a hormone replacement therapy (HRT) specifically designed for women to relieve symptoms of menopause.
It contains estradiol, a form of estrogen that helps compensate for the body's natural decrease in this hormone after menopause.
The medication is delivered through a transdermal spray, allowing it to be absorbed directly through the skin into the bloodstream.
Lenzetto® is primarily used to alleviate menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and mood swings, improving the overall quality of life for women during this phase.
Lenzetto® contains 1.53 mg of estradiol per spray, which is the active ingredient used to alleviate menopausal symptoms.
The other ingredients include octisalate and ethanol (96%), which help with the absorption and stability of the medication.
Each container provides 56 measured doses, ensuring precise and consistent application.
How is Lenzetto® used?
Lenzetto® is applied as a transdermal spray to the skin, usually on the inner forearm or thigh. One or more sprays may be recommended depending on your symptoms and how your body responds to treatment. Always follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage. The spray is quick-drying, and it is important to let the skin absorb the medication for at least 2 minutes before dressing, and for 60 minutes before showering or bathing.
How does Lenzetto® work?
Lenzetto® contains estradiol, a type of estrogen that mimics the natural hormone produced by the ovaries.
During menopause, the body’s production of estrogen decreases significantly, leading to various symptoms like hot flashes, irritability, and vaginal discomfort.
When applied to the skin, Lenzetto® releases a precise amount of estradiol, which is absorbed into the bloodstream.
This increases estrogen levels in the body, helping to balance hormone levels and alleviate the uncomfortable symptoms of menopause.
The spray works by regulating the body’s temperature control, reducing the intensity of hot flashes and night sweats.
It also improves vaginal health by maintaining moisture and elasticity in the tissues, which can be affected by low estrogen levels.
Moreover, it helps in stabilizing mood and reducing sleep disturbances, contributing to better emotional well-being.
By delivering the hormone directly through the skin, Lenzetto® provides a steady absorption, which avoids the fluctuations that can occur with oral hormone therapies.
This method ensures a more consistent therapeutic effect throughout the day.
Who can use Lenzetto®?
Lenzetto® is intended for postmenopausal women who are experiencing moderate to severe symptoms due to a lack of estrogen.
It may also be used by women who have undergone surgery to remove their ovaries, as they experience a sudden onset of menopause symptoms.
However, it is not suitable for use as a contraceptive, and it should not be used by women who are still menstruating or by pregnant women.
What are the possible side effects of Lenzetto®?
Like all medications, Lenzetto® can cause side effects, although not everyone will experience them.
Common side effects include headaches, abdominal pain, nausea, and breast tenderness.
Some women may experience irregular vaginal bleeding or spotting.
Serious side effects, such as blood clots, breast cancer, or stroke, are rare but can occur.
If you notice any signs like sudden chest pain, leg swelling, or changes in vision, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
How should Lenzetto® be stored?
Lenzetto® should be stored at a temperature not exceeding 25°C (77°F), away from direct heat or open flames as it contains alcohol, which makes it flammable.
Keep the container tightly closed and out of reach of children.
Once opened, Lenzetto® should be used within 56 days.
Do not refrigerate or freeze the product.
How long should you use Lenzetto®?
The duration of treatment with Lenzetto® depends on your symptoms and your doctor’s recommendations.
Treatment should be regularly reviewed every 3 to 6 months to assess whether you still need it.
Only use Lenzetto® for as long as necessary to manage your menopausal symptoms.
