Ladies has anyone had problems getting these patches, I had to go on them due to Femseven having manufacturing problems, popped to my local pharmacy on Thursday, none in stock and no date given to them in having their outstanding order filled, tried another 6 pharmacies and did manage at the 6th one to get 24 patches, was told they have few more in stock, but they too received email saying their order would be late..so another problem to face for many of us on conti patches, so blooming fed up of 'manufacturing probs' why all of a sudden are companies getting loads of process probs!!!    x

  Hi Rosebush   I had heard a rumour about a supply problem so went into a pharmacy to ask about it yesterday. It wasn't my regular one (Boots) because the queue was too long. Instead I went to Superdrug. The guy there first said that the problem affected lots of HRT types. He then went on to say that he had no Evorel Conti or Sequi. He only has the other Evorel ones (Evorel 50, 75 etc.). I have enough to last me until my follow up appointment but not after that.

Yes Evorel (sequi, conti and 50) are not available now in my area (Hants/Berks). Pharmacies within a thirty mile range have none according to my pharmacy. No idea when they'll be back in stock and the pharmacist said that the situation was appalling.

I had trouble getting Everol 75mcg (changed to them this week) pharmacy at morrisons didn't have them or provera, staff member told me she struggled to get Everol 75mcg locally for herself. Other chemist was ordering it in for me today, I went earlier & it had shut (annoying!). So don't know if they managed to source it or not.

I had problems getting my last couple of prescriptions of Evorel Conti. Both times took a couple of weeks. As a consequence I ask for the prescriptions from my dr at least a month before I need them.
The first time I did email the manufacturer and was told that there were no problems. However when I got my prescription filled all the packaging was different and relabelled which would suggest there is some sort of problem going on.

The last prescription I was told they were struggling to get hold of Evorel so I just left it with them (Boots) to call me when it came in. When I collected it, Boots denied any problem at all!!  . So don't know what's going on.

My daughter has been put on Femseven Conti, but i have read that there is a shrtage of them too,
My Dr was going to change me onto patches, but he also said there is a problem with getting a lot of them
What is going on i wonder?

[Taz2]

FemSeven aren't being manufactured at the moment so it's not available.

Seems odd that 2 different companies are having problems, if Evorel go off market not sure what to..   could this be down to Brexit ?? xx

[pants46]

Not sure what it's all caused by.
But we could all club together and pay for someone to get on a cheap flight to somewhere in Europe and buy loads. We could then have an HRT party to dish it all out.
I would volunteer, but I'm not leaving the house at the moment, so getting on a plane would be more than a step to far !!
 

[jaycee]

My Dr has rung me tonight to say he faxed a prescription through to my local pharmacy and said he has checked that they are available and they are,so no idea why some of you cant get them
Edited; to say my daughter has a prescription waiting at the chemist for Femseven Conti to collect tomorrow
Wonder if it just certain areas
I am in North Yorkshire
Daughters friend just put on Femosten Conti 1mg/5mgm

[Foxylady]

I did get my Everol 75mcg & provera 5mg yesterday, second place I tried. Starting them Friday.

[Rosebush]

Ladies so pleased some of you are getting your patches, jaycee was shocked Femseven are available, has your daughter had any problems at all over last 9 mths getting them?

Foxy did the first pharmacy offer any explanation to why they didn't have Everol?

Starting to think it maybe an 'area' problem, but don't understand why pharmacies are being told its a manufacturing problem with both patches    xxx

Is it perhaps just Femseven Sequi which isn't available rather than Conti? A new query has just appeared on MM from someone in Germany who has been told that Sequi won't be available again until 2020.

[Foxylady]

Hi Rosebush, no it was Morrisons pharmacy and the staff member said she had a problem sourcing it personally and mentioned one particular chemist she was able to source it from.

[jaycee]

My daughter hasn;t been on them long but my chemist said they had plenty in
I am a bit worried about the Evorel Conti as i have read that a lot of women have had bleeds on them
Maybe it is different areas,
