Basically two pharmacies have told me to ask my doc to change my prescription from Estradot to "generic estradiol" due to estradot being almost impossible to get hold of. Ok, Im fine with that as an interim solution but did want to check something.
Estradot 50 is a two a week patch with utrogestan, which I'm on at the moment
I notice that femseven 50 says one patch a week. I take it that's going to amount to the same thing as the estradot 50 twice a week? and also, i guess I continue taking the utrogestan as normal?
I'd get an appt with the doct to discuss this if i could but waiting times are two months and I can't really be without hrt for that long.
I guess evorel is another alternative (again, assuming one takes utrogestan in exactly the same way with all patches - ie, 1*100 per day, every day, which is how it's administered at the moment with estradot. I'm basically just going to have to take whatever they give me but want to be sure they're all more or less the same and that the utrogestan dose remains constant.
Be glad when this shortage is over. i'm sure we all will!
