Indications
Vivelle DOT is a form of estrogen, a hormone commonly found in females. It is used to reduce symptoms associated with menopause, such as hot flashes and vaginal dryness, which are caused by a decrease in estrogen production.
This medication can be used by women who have a deficiency in estrogen production, such as those with hypogonadism or primary ovarian failure. Some estrogen products may also be utilized to prevent bone loss in postmenopausal women.
