Hi everyone
When visiting the docs yesterday he showed me the equivalent dosages from tabs to patches on his screen. When i got home I couldn't find it on the internet. Hey presto this morning this is what i found -
EVOREL PATCHES
25mcg = 1.6 mg (this needs to be divided by 3 to get the amount per day in mg).
50mcg = 3.2mg ( Same again)
75mcg = 4.8mg (same again)
100mcg= 6.4mg (same again)
ESTRADOT PATCHES
37.5mcg = 0.585mg (this needs to be divided by 3 to get the amount per day in mg)
50mcg = 0.78mg (Same again)
75mcg = 1.17mg (Same again)
100mcg = 1.56mg (Same again)
These are just two examples of patches and as you can see the dosage looks very different - when comparing the two. I don't understand that part but maybe one is more potent than the other (if that's the right word to use)
So happy to share this with you all.
