The correct answer is A: Patch (2x weekly) and Patch (1x weekly). Estradiol for systemic hormone therapy for menopause is available in various forms including patches, oral tablets, intramuscular injections, and transdermal gel. However, the patches are commonly used for systemic hormone therapy to relieve menopausal symptoms. The patches can be applied either twice a week or once a week depending on the specific product. This form of delivery provides a steady release of the hormone into the bloodstream, which can help manage symptoms effectively.
