Maybe you'll be lucky. GP says he's had to change many ladies from  Estradot recently.

Boots in my town have now managed to get them in stock. Hopefully you will also now be able to get them.

I've got 4 1/4 boxes of estradot 50 if anyone wants them, I'm happy to post them on. I tried switching to them from evorel 50 recently but I couldn't get on with the estradot, I felt as though I'd been poisoned and had to switch back - someone on here explained why (I forget who) one is made from soy and one from yam I think, either way I obviously have a sensitivity and they didn't suit me.  I've never had a problem with evorel, I felt better within hours of taking them although I do agree they don't help with weight gain, I've gone up from a double D to an F cup + my previously always flat stomach is now bloated and I certainly don't eat anymore.  Every so often it gets to me and I think about changing hrt but finding on that suits can be such a lottery x

I've been given generic prescriptions for everything, apart from vagifem and Ovestin, including asthma inhalers. I was bothered at first as I had been prescribed estradot by by the gynaecologist. But to be honest, I am not aware of any issues with changing makes. I just accept whatever is available. Usually I get evoral patches, probably as I think they may be the cheapest.

I have to pick it up today juju I'm not bothered what make it is as long as it does the same job ? If I get evoral patches are they the sane ? Sorry I know I sound daft but I'm so clueless with this 😊

[Ju Ju]

Yes! Slightly different ingredients, which really only matters if you are allergic/ intolerant/ sensitive as in Peri's case. I actually prefer evoral for its sticking power. I've been given other makes and not noticed any difference.

Just a note on weight gain and enlarging boobs. With peri I put on 2 sts and my boobs went zooming up to an F cup, but I was not on HRT. I started HRT at age 60, followed dietary advice and lost more than  2 sts ( weigh less than I did in my teens) and went down to an E cup. I only indirectly attribute this to HRT in that I have more energy and do more, along side eating sensibly. Before the weight gain was probably due to a combination of hormones, eating poorly and inactivity due to extreme exhaustion that I was experiencing. So a good idea is to look at your lifestyle before blaming HRT!

Thanks juju will see what they give me today and report back later.

Been on low carb diet since Feb lost a stone so def lifestyle not hrt 😁

No estradot 50mcg patches STIlL manufacturing problems pharmacy said can't prescribe me generic as that's not what's on my prescription?! Help 😐

[Ju Ju]

Back to GP for new prescription explaining the situation. Ring the doctors receptionist for advice. I hope you haven't run out.
