Title: Has anyone found any NHS Estradot availability?
Post by: Seasidegirl on July 26, 2025, 05:55:37 PM
I know the suggestion is that there is now more Estradot availability but is anyone seeing it on the NHS? 

Local Tesco pharmacy says not a sniff of any. 

I'm running low so need to either go back to Newson or get an NHS prescription and hunt around if it's possible to find it.

I'm getting it every month without a problem from Pharmacy2U. On the NHS.

Suggest you sign up with them... This is 100mcg patches.

Thanks,  I'll look at them.    I'll need to work out how to deal with the prescription as everything else goes to the village pharmacy which I value.

Some boots have started getting them in stock, use the Boots pharmacy product checker online to check for ones near you.
Oxford pharmacy and pharmacy 2 u, allow you to cash in your nhs prescription with them and they currently have some stock I believe.

I’ve also been getting mine through Newson.

My independent chemist was able to get it but the last prescription was 2 months ago so this may have changed. It's worth ringing round pharmacies in your area to ask.

I've finally managed to get my hands on some after a year of having to make do with Evorel. I'd forgotten how small Estrodot is in comparison. It's great. I just hope supply doesn't dry up again by the time this prescription runs out.
