Title: Femseven Conti new manufacturer!!
Post by: Angel1964 on November 20, 2018, 03:09:47 PM: I emailed Teva regarding discontinuing the patches and today got this response.

Good afternoon

Thank you for your email regarding the availability of Fem Seven patches.

As of 1 November, 2018, Teva UK no longer markets this product range. The product is now under the control of a company called Theramex. Please may I ask you to make your enquiry via one of the contact methods below:

Please can you keep us updated if you get any more news about the new manufacturers and when they will be available, I`m sure my Dr won`t have a clue.
Thank you!
:)

Said to just check with gp so no further on with it :( I think if everyone falls them they might pull their finger out :)

Post by: atalanta on January 21, 2019, 04:47:16 PM: I had no idea about any of this until I went to my GP today for a repeat prescription. She told me a notice had come up saying my patches (FemSeven Sequi) were unavailable. She didn't seem to know the reason. I came on here to see if anyone else was having problems. I'm really angry now reading these posts. Thanks for the research. I have emailed theramex asking whether production has started and, if not, when it will. These patches are the only thing that has worked for me.
