Ciba-Geigy is marketing a hormone
sachet, for women, to cope with
menopause, an indication of diminishing oestrogen and ovarian functions. The symptoms are hot flushes
and perspiration to osteoporosis.
Sealed in air tight sachets - the
Estraderm TTS (transclermal thera-
peutic system) - the patch is applied
to skin below the waist with a certain amount of skill. Exposure to air
renders the patch ineffective.
