Title: Estrodot vs Evorel
Post by: LJB12 on April 05, 2017, 01:23:22 PM

Hi,
I'm on 75mcg Estrodot changed every other day and they were brilliant. Supply issues have meant I need to change brand, so the pharmacist has prescribed Evorel 75mcg.

I'm worried about the change of brand. Does anyone know how these two compare?

Thanks!
Lisa

I was supposed to be on estradot but have been put on elleste solo instead. I assume they are very similar but didn't get to speak to my gp as she just left the prescription on reception for me. Sorry I don't know about Evorel.

I have a prescription that doesn't specify make, so I get what I'm given! I honestly don't notice the difference. I like estrodot because of its size and Evorel because of its sticking power. Some of the other makes don't stick so well
