Ask the pharmacist as you should have been told, it isn't up to him/her to change a prescription without explanation.  'ovestin' or 'vagifem' are more commonly prescribed.

My local pharmacy never have it in stock, I’ve started to get my prescription sent to Boots and so far they’ve always managed to get it. Had issues with Evorel too but again Boots have always been able to provide it. Px
