Title: faster absorption
Post by: discogirl on September 25, 2022, 06:38:38 PM

im on estraderm patches 25 mcg. using a patch and a half.

does the patch that i cut in half give me faster delivery  absorption because its smaller.

i understand estraderm patches do give slower delivery because they're larger.

thanks so much xx

Hi no it doesn’t give faster absorption. Patches are designed to release the same amount of oestrogen daily and this won’t be affected by the size of the patch. They will all have been given rigorous testing.

Some ladies may prefer one patch to another though due to the size or the adhesive used. x
