I thought I should update on this in case anyone’s worried about this. I got the generic version of this. It’s actually manufactured by the same company and seems fine. Panic over  ;D
What is the name of it please? xx

My script is for estriol but I was given 'ovestin' this week so it's not unavailable everywhere.  I could do a trade on e-bay  ;D

I had same surprise with Estring ring this morning at  my Meno clinic I went to to have it changed, and walked out with Imvaggis I never heard about..

Looks like nhs and pharma are getting reorganised re our vaginas, hence shortages..? :o

It's all that packing up then the buyer returning the product 'cos it doesn't work  ;D

That's odd orrla, was there any explanation?

The pharmacy today told me it has been discontinued. I have been prescribed estriol 1mg/g cream. The box, the tube the paperwork is exactly the same. The ingredients and dosage is identical. Apparently there is a shortage of estriol too.
