Title: Is kilofem the same as elleste duet conti?
Post by: Nickyp on February 08, 2019, 02:14:27 PM

Hi laspdies, just been to collect my repeat prescription of elleste duet cont to find I have been given kilofem instead. I am aware there may be supply issues with the elleste, but just a bit concerned I've been given something else without it even being discussed with me. I will make an docs appointment to discuss but just wondered if any of you know. Tia

Good afternoon Nickyp

If you go to the green bar at the top of the page and click on treatments it brings a drop down menu go into HRT preparations and then click on post meno and it gives a list of all preparations available .
I've had a quick look and it appears they are exactly the same.

Thanks ladies, I was worried there had been a mix up in the pharmacy, I had read on here there were supply issues with the elleste and I guess it's too much to ask my doctor to call and explain why something else was prescribed ! She only prescribed 3 months instead of 6 so maybe my usual one will be back in stock, fingers crossed👌🏼
