Good news - Gp confirms conversion chart patches to tablets
« on: August 14, 2014, 05:59:46 AM »

Hi everyone
 
When visiting the docs yesterday he showed me the equivalent dosages from tabs to patches on his screen. When i got home I couldn't find it on the internet. Hey presto this morning this is what i found -

EVOREL PATCHES

25mcg = 1.6 mg (this needs to be divided by 3 to get the amount per day in mg).
50mcg = 3.2mg  ( Same again)
75mcg = 4.8mg  (same again)
100mcg= 6.4mg (same again)


ESTRADOT PATCHES

37.5mcg = 0.585mg (this needs to be divided by 3 to get the amount per day in mg)
50mcg    = 0.78mg   (Same again)
75mcg    = 1.17mg   (Same again)
100mcg  = 1.56mg    (Same again)

These are just two examples of patches and as you can see the dosage looks very different - when comparing the two. I don't understand that part but maybe one is more potent than the other (if that's the right word to use)

So happy to share this with you all.
