Estraderm is manufactured by Novartis Pharmaceuticals Inc. This medicine is an estrogen hormone used to provide female hormone when the body no longer produces enough. It is also used to help prevent osteoporosis (weakened bones). This medicine may also be used to treat cancer and other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Each Estraderm patch is individually sealed in a protective pouch and is applied directly to the skin. A stiff protective liner covers the adhesive side of the Estraderm patch. Remove the liner by sliding it sideways between your thumb and index finger. Holding the Estraderm patch at one edge, remove the protective liner and discard it. Try to avoid touching the adhesive. Use immediately after removing the liner. If you are using Alora, Vivelle, or Vivelle-Dot peel off one side of the protective liner and discard it. Use the other half of the liner as a handle until you have applied the sticky area, then fold back the remaining side of the patch, pull off the rest of the liner, and smooth the second half of the patch onto your skin. Apply the adhesive side to a clean, dry area of your skin on the trunk of your body (including the buttocks and abdomen). Do not apply to your breasts or waist. Firmly press the patch in place with the palm of your hand for about 10 seconds, to make sure the edges are flat against your skin. When first using Estraderm, start on the lower abdomen. Estraderm is applied only to the abdomen or upper buttock, and is pressed in place with the fingers. Contact with water during bathing, swimming, or showering will not affect the patch. The application site must be rotated. Allow an interval of at least 1 week between applications to a particular site. Alora, Esclim, Estraderm, Vivelle, and Vivelle-Dot patches should be replaced twice a week; Estraderm once weekly. --If you miss a dose...If you forget to apply a new Estraderm patch when you are supposed to, do it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time to change Estraderm patches anyway, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule. Do not apply more than the prescribed number of Estraderm patches at a time.

Store the Estraderm patches at room temperature, in their sealed pouches.

Study: Rx drug use doubles between 1999 and 2008 - Americans are taking more prescription drugs than ever. A new report from the National Center for Health Statistics finds prescription drug spending reached $234-billion in 2008. That's more than double what was spent in 1999. The new data are from 2007 and 2008, the most recent years for which information is available. During those years one out of every five children was taking at least one prescription drug, most commonly asthma drugs. 90-percent of older Americans were taking a prescription medication, mostly cholesterol drugs.

Poll: Patients Unhappy With Rx Drugs - Consumer Reports Survey Shows People Frustrated by Drug Costs and Worry About Safety. Nearly half of all Americans take at least one prescription drug on a regular basis, and they have concerns ranging from economics to safety to whether the doctor prescribing the drug is unduly influenced by pharmaceutical companies, according to a new poll. Consumer Reports National Research Center conducted the poll, in which 2,022 adults aged 18 and older were surveyed by phone in May 2010. ''Consumers are not finding out about the safety issues of drugs," says researcher John Santa, MD, MPH, director of the Consumer Reports Health Ratings Center. The poll results also suggest people are concerned about the expense of drugs, and as a result, are sometimes not taking them as prescribed. Since 2004, Santa tells WebMD, Consumer Reports has been following the prescription drug market from a consumer’s point of view, conducting surveys about prescribing practices and other factors.Among the findings:

Patients are trying to save money on drugs, sometimes in ways that could be hazardous. In the past year, 39% took action to reduce costs (such as switching to generic, a good idea in Santa's view). But 27% failed to take prescription drugs properly -- for example, taking a pill every other day instead of daily.
Average out-of-pocket cost for those on prescription drugs is $68 a month, but 14% spend more than $100 monthly.
Patients complain that doctors don't consider their ability to pay when prescribing a drug, with 51% feeling the expense isn't considered.
Even though many poll respondents took generic drugs, 43% had some misguided concerns about them, such as generics not working as well as brand-name drugs.
More than two-thirds said they think pharmaceutical companies have too much influence on a doctor's decision about which drug to prescribe. And half said their doctors are too eager to prescribe a drug rather than consider other treatment options. About 47% said they think gifts from drug companies influence doctors to prescribe specific drugs.
20% of those surveyed said they have asked their doctor for a drug they saw advertised, with 59% of doctors honoring the request.
