I've recently changed to Evorel 50 patches. I have medication for acid reflux which I take daily and have gone for years. Usually it's under control and no bother. Over the last couple of weeks my heartburn has been awful and nothing settles it. Before I go to the Dr I wondered if anyone had experienced similar issues? It does say on the leaflet for Everol 50 that it may cause issues but it's rare.

Whilst not impossible for this to be the cause, it is usually progestogens which cause or aggravate reflux by inducing generalised laxity, including of the gastroesophageal sphincter.

Heartburn in pregnancy anyone? 😉

Are you taking a progestogen alongside your estrogen patch?

Increased acid reflux was one of the reasons I stopped Evorel 50. Maybe a co-incidence, maybe not.
