Title: Alternative to Prempac C??? Prempac C no longer made
Post by: sunlightmama on April 18, 2017, 09:19:51 AM
Hello,
I discovered when I went to get Prempac C (1.25) repeat prescription at the beginning of last week, that is no longer being made. I contacted GP who prescribed Elleset Duet which I tried few years ago and didn't seem to get along with it.

I called GP again and after a lenthy chat she has prescribed me Premique. My husband collected the medication from the pharmacist and as soon as he said it was only £8 I knew this was a continuous HRT!!!

I had specifically requested a sequential HRT that gave me a bleed - no bleed with Premique. I have now been without any HRT for 3 days over the easter break and feel terrible. I am waiting for the GP to call.

Anyone recommend any alternatives to Prempac C - I would like a bleed. I did suffer from endometriosis and think this is the healthiest option for me.

I have tried patches and they don't work for me.

Thanks for your help

That's strange to give you that as that's being discountined to.
I'm not that good as finding similar HRT though  :-\ hope someone can help xxx
