Title: estradot shortage
Post by: Traceylr on June 18, 2019, 11:34:49 AM

Hi everyone,
One of my friends has had massive trouble trying to get hold of Estradot 50mcgs patches , here in the NorthWest ( uk). Anyone else having the same problem?

Not so far *crosses fingers*
When there was a shortage a year or so back I rang the manufacturer who confirmed they were still being made and they said the Pharmacy could order them a box at a time.
Is there a shortage of the 25 mags too? If not, maybe she could wear two of those  :)

I always have more luck at independent chemists than the chains when there are supply issues.

hi ,
just an update re this topic. My friend has been able to buy2 boxes of estradot ( over the counter) 20 euros per box whilst on holiday in Spain. Although she had to try a few pharmacies before successful . Im going to try to buy this too next month . In the meantime I just hope the supply issue improves !
