Title: Cutting Patches in Half
Post by: ali 61 on September 04, 2018, 12:58:05 PM

Hello again ladies.
I have asked in a different post, but so far, no replies to one question.

I have just started on Evorel Conti patches 10 days ago. But I am having really severe stomach cramps and nausea every day.
Spoke to my GP and he said to try and persevere with the patches a bit longer, to see if it settles., but for a while,  to cut the patches in half.

I did that last night, but my question is..... can I use the other half next time I change the patch. or do I need to throw the cut off piece away now?

I'm hoping this will help and the side effects wont last too long.  :-\

Hi, Ali!

You can keep the other half and use it next time. I hope this helps! xxxx
