Title: Estradot 50 v Evorel 50
Post by: TNM45689 on June 12, 2018, 06:24:16 AM

Hi

I have been on Estradot 50 (and Utrogestan) for nearly 4 weeks now and I went to collect my prescription for Estradot yesterday and they gave me Evorel instead at the Pharmacy. I had to use one as my other patch had fallen off but it is weird I could feel a weird sensation on my bum, down my legs, a very light pain - even now I can feel this - I have never felt anything like this with Estradot 50?

Has anyone else experienced this - can I go back and ask my pharmacy to swap/order Estradot 50 instead?

The bloating I have experienced since start HRT has been unbelievable - and I really hope this will die down.

Any advice much appreicated.

Thanks
Txx

I have used both and didn't really notice any difference except Estradot is considerably smaller. If you are getting a reaction I would say def go back to the pharmacist.

Hi there,
I used to use Evorel which did irritate my skin, but I switched to Estradot about 5 months ago and I get almost no irritation (plus I prefer the smaller patch)
