I have noticed that there is not much choice in patches for post menopausal women,
I don't want Evoral Conti ever again
Will wait and see what becomes available

Jaycee I know a lot of ladies don't live estrederm as quite large but I've tried every patch and this is best for me, has helped my energy to which is fab as I also have ME. Xx

Yes - following on from the discussion last week and various links, Janssen updated their projected out of stock dates on 14th Oct and in case anyone is fed up with links I'll reproduce it here  :

I presume this is their stock and so there will still be some in the supply chain with the wholesalers and the various other buyers, local depots and local pharmacies? However you can see where the greatest demand is from this....

Not sure what has happened to the 3 month supplies of the products for which they only give out of stock dates of a box of 8?

Hope this helps Evorel users work out their next move!

Funnily enough despite their huge size I am getting used to Estraderm and fingers crossed flushes haven't returned so hopefully I am getting same dose - would encourage others using oestrogen only patches to try this...

I agree re the Evorel conti jaycee but many women swear by it - just goes to show how different well are

I'm on the evorel 25 and have been told they are already out of stock, the last 3 month prescription I had was sourced directly from manufacturers by the pharmacy at my drs. Can't use estraderm ones as had a reaction to it x

HI Countrygirl,

I'm sorry to hear that. AAH has just published a form for Pharmacists to request restricted products. It could be useful to let your local Pharmacy know about this recently available simplified way of dealing with the shortages, if it deals with AAH.

Looks like it is all Evoral  I don't know about Estraderm , it's a pity that Evoral Conti affected my hair, as It did make me feel more energetic
There doesn't seem to be much choice patch wise for post meno really

Hi jaycee,

Forgive my menopausal short term memory, what has happened to your hair?

Norethisterone has been added to the parallel export blacklist https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/840056/Medicines_that_cannot_be_parallel_exported_from_the_UK_2.csv/preview

Quite a few women have commented on Evorel causing noticeable hair loss. It hasn't affected me at all but my hair is very thick and fast growing.

[Viwi]

Countrygirl - I have oposite - Evorel is giving me sweelings and Estraderm is perfect. Ohh - and I saw Evorel 25 that they still had in my pharmacy - dunno if they still have it tho.

About Evorel - swellings was enough to stop using them. Still have a lot of hair

I really like them. It is annoying they are so big that's why I use two 50 instead of 100 as they kept coming off. X

[Hurdity]

Haha -  yes I thought I said this Butterfly22!   I was thinking - she's said the same as me!! Yes it is a pity they are huge - I keep having to feel that they're stuck down all over - which was easy with the Estradot but looks a bit odd with the Estraderm

[Perinowpost]

I think it's the noresthisterone that causes the hair loss. I'm on evorel 50 (oestrogen only) and my hair is absolutely fine x

[Jellyb]

I might be asking a stupid question but will these all become available again at some point next year?  Or are some manufacturers stopping production completely?

I'm on Evorel Conti and have a small stock which will get me through until next year, but wondered why they are not all starting production again?

I know there was the initial problem with glue with one manufacturer and this had led to knock-on effect of short supply but, why are the other manufacturers not working night & day to get supply back into circulation?

Surely if they all wait until next year there will be the same stock problems as everyone will be wanting their supplies!

[Yorkshire Girl]

I'm on Everol 100 and my hair is absolutely fine as well, mind you it is thick & grows quickly!
