Title: No Evorel patches left
Post by: Moonshine54 on August 28, 2019, 05:06:57 PM

Just went to collect my prescription and they don't have any patches. I have only one left.
They said they trying to get a,generic version but I am a bit worried  by this.

How have other people managed?
Warm wishes

Have you tried ringing around? Boots hadn't got my patches yesterday but I managed to get some by ringing around all the local chemists. There's not many out there, but it's worth a try.

Good luck.

I had the same today. I am now taking the Progynova generic patch and oral Northisterone. It's a scandal actually that this has happened and we're left without this essential medicine until middle 2020. My GP was so apologetic.

I tried the Progynova this morning and so far it seems to be OK -will update in a week or so. Definitely feel your pain!

I think it's terrible that this has happened.  I am not sure men would be treated tbis way. I am waiting for them to get me some mind of replacement.  I am worried about this as I feeling better on current treat ment .
I  hope it continues  to work for you radoy.
