Elleste Duet 1mg supply shortage?
« on: June 05, 2019, 07:53:36 PM »
Hi All, apologies if this has already been talked about elsewhere. Has anyone had issues getting the Elleste Duet tablets? I have a prescription but can't fill it. I'm waiting for the Dr to come back to me with an alternative but I need it before Friday, otherwise it'll be cold turkey for me! Tbh HRT was sold to me as a wonder drug and that I'd feel fantastic on it, but I can't say it's worked out that way! Anyone any advice on alternatives? Thanks in advance. I've reposted on the general menopause thread as I couldn't move this one. Total technophobe!  :-\

Hi Cathy
(Technophobe here too, don't worry!!)
   I'm waiting for same HRT from my chemist (and new pain relief pills too) I hope this is not a taste of things to come🥴

Can I add that after a few weeks on various FB meno groups, MM is by far the nicest, friendliest, informative site and I plan to stay now!! Just need to find better weather and I'm sorted 😀

I would go to the Pharmacist and ask the question.  If necessary he/she can phone the Company to see.

I was on this too, although 2mg, and it has been continually out of stock for 3 months now. Two subsequent prescriptions my GP have given me I have also been unable to fill and my last resort failed today. I am completely out and we go on holiday tomorrow. Seems there is a national shortage - apparently this is likely to get worse after Brexit! Can't do anything about this now until I can see my doctor on my return so am going to be without for at least 3 weeks now as that is the soonest I can get an appointment. So am scouring these boards at the moment looking for something alternative to try to ease symptoms a bit - not all natural therapies agree with me and I get strange reactions, so am limited there too. Feeling really fed up. Feel for you if you can't get your meds...

Clinorette or Trisequens are the same as Elleste Duet 2mg. X
