Hi vickypk, is yours a small independent chemist or part of a big chain? The reason I ask is because Lloyd's refused to ring Janssen on the phone number provided, so I can't get the patches that way

Boots said the same. They have a contract with a provider and have to stick to it.

Yes  it's an independent chemist. My pharmacist was happy to do this for me.  I am surprised to hear some pharmacists won't do this.  I found it all very straight forward. Hope this is all sorted out soon.

I found an independent pharmacy this morning that had two packs of evorel 75mg patches. Thank goodness I'm ok now for a couple of months, and have an order waiting in case more supplies are found. Boots had no patches of any sort!

Yep - an independent chemist got 12 Evorel 50 patches for me direct from Janssen today but said that Janssen told her that they expect to run out of their own stock by end of next week. I suppose that might be different for other dosages.

Not very customer friendly are they? I'll not forget the unhelpful attitude and will take my custom elsewhere in the future.
Glad to hear your pharmacist helped you out Vickypk👍

My pharmacy attached to GP practise cant get me any more Everol 100 patches, despite them being shown on their system as available to order. They order them for me, then they dont come in.  Ive tried independent pharmacies and Boots without success.  Boots wont ring Janssen as say they have to follow their procedure and I need to submit a script first.  But of course, no point asking for another script if they cant get them, as will then have to go back to GP to change the script to another product, which will probably also be out of stock because pharmacies cant tell me what, if anything, they can get!!! 

I heard on Radio 2 phone in last week that a woman had got Everol 25 patches at a pharmacy in Italy for 8 euros, while on holiday there.  So I've asked my daughter in Luxembourg to try to get some for me. 

Does anyone know if they are still available in USA, as going to visit my son there next week?

Do you know whether the lady in Italy was able to buy them OTC?  I am going to Italy very soon and intended to investigate this.

Hi My mum is going to spain in October

I am on evoerel 75, but am prepared to take any other oestrogen only patch.
Can anyone tell me what patches spanish pharmacies sell so I can ask my mum if she will buy me some.
Thanks

Hi Rose B,

I've asked a friend in US and apparently there's no HRT shortages over there. All products available.

Hi My mum is going to spain in October
Boots and Lloyds have ran out of the evorel 75 that I use.
I'm now cutting a quarter of the old evorel 100 patches I got before my doctor reduced them in July due to abnormal bleeding.
The patches are in date but I have some questions about getting oestrogen only patches in spain please as my mum is going in October.
1) I am prepared to use other brand patches if she can't get evorel, she doesn't speak spanish, what patches can you get in spain please?
2) How will she know what to ask for with not speaking spanish as they have to be pure oestrogen as I am on utrogestan.
Thanks.

Dandelion they are called evopad in Spain, but are the same x

I've asked someone to see if they can get me some so sent them with a evorel box and repeat form so hopefully they can see I've been prescribed them, didn't know what else to do x

Hi countrygirl, sorry you are going through trouble.
Sorry to ask more questions, is evopad oestrogen only?
Do I need to give my mum a prescription form to get them?
Do they do evopad 75, I googled it but could only find spanish info
Thanks

Another lady on here bought some last month over there, if you pop evopad in the search it should bring it up I think the thread was about buying patches in Spain.

Evopad is the brand name, I had no idea what was needed or what to ask for besides the brand, so I just sent what I had and hoped that as it states evorel 50 they will know it's the oestrogen type only as I've never done it before x
