Lower Dosage Patch
«

Usually I'm on Everol 100mg patch, but due to the supply problems is unavailable until sometime in March. When requesting a repeat prescription I was given Elleste solo 80mg at around the beginning of February. I'm ok losing 20mg but am I being naive thinking it'll be plain sailing for 2 months? Has anyone else had to go on a lower dose? Thanks
