Title: moving from gel to patches
Post by: discogirl on March 27, 2023, 04:51:50 PM

im changing from gel to patches (estradot). im on 3 pumps of gel a day.  however because of the shortages i can only get 50mcg and 25mcg patches

can i just check that its ok to use a 50 and a 25 patch to give me 75mcg which would equate to 3 pumps of gel.

thanks xx

Please help! I was on Evorel 25mg patches for 3mths and then they were increased to 50mg. I was fine for just over a week but out of the blue I started experiencing headaches, dizziness, nausea and occasional vomiting. I also have increased intense hunger pains all of the time. I have a GP appointment tomorrow but wonder if anyone else feels like this. Yesterday was the worse. This is making me feel so sad. Advise would be so much appreciated.
