How to Use It

The patented DOT Matrix^® technology in the Vivelle-Dot^® patch was designed for your comfort and convenience. The patch only needs to be changed twice a week, unlike the daily use of pills and topicals.

Vivelle-Dot should be applied to the lower abdomen on freshly washed, dry, cool skin that is free of powder, oil, moisturizer, or lotion. The area should be free of cuts and/or irritations.

Follow the simple steps below to apply the Vivelle-Dot patch:

• Remove adhesive liner
• Apply patch to lower abdomen, below the waistline. Avoid the waistline, since clothing may cause the patch to rub off.
• DO NOT APPLY PATCH TO BREASTS.
• Smooth down the patch
• Alternate between sides of the lower abdomen when changing the patch.

In the rare event that the patch should come off, just put the same patch back on a different site. When changing your patch, based on a twice-a-week schedule, apply your new patch to a different site. Do not apply a new patch to that same area for at least one week. Make sure to always follow your doctor's instructions when applying the patch.
