Title: Difference between Evoril conti & sequi
Post by: Emma74 on April 12, 2023, 08:39:55 PM

Stupid question! I'm on Evorel 50mg, change twice a week. I see people talking about conti and sequi but what is the difference. Doesn't say on my box. Thanks.

That is not a stupid question at all. If your box says just the word Evorel then you are an oestrogen only patch. The other two types are combined patches. :)

I found this information for you:

What's the difference between Evorel Conti and Evorel Sequi? Evorel Conti is used for women who no longer have a period and is taken continuously. Evorel Sequi are also HRT patches but contain 2 different types of patches. One patch contains oestrogen, and the other patch contains oestrogen and progestogen.

Hi if you are on Evorel (oestrogen only) do you use progesterone?

Hi if you are taking the Utrogestan every day then you are on a continuous ( Conti ) regime.

If you are taking it for 2 weeks out of 4 then you are on a sequential ( Sequi) regime.
