Believe it or not I just got my Everol 100 prescription filled - went to doctors to try to get alternative, he phoned their local independent pharmacist who had it in stock, which previously it wasn't....I didn't question where they got it....just took it with thanks!

[hotmama]

Thanks Hurdity but Estradot isn't available. At least not where I live!

I've got an appointment with my GP today regarding my hrt patches, I too cannot get hold of them,  the gynecologist who removed my polyp said I should think about coming off hrt in the next 5 - 10 years so was wondering if I should try and come off it now as I've been on it 13 years, went on it at 39 and I'm 52 now what do you ladies think, I just don't want all them symptoms again 😔😈😱

I wouldn't stop, as at 52 you are only at the natural age of menopause now. All things being equal you can stay on HRT for the rest of your life. I was taken off it at 54 and it was the top of the slippery slope for me.

My doc has prescribed estradot 50 patches and  utrogestan 100mg capsules in place of everol sequi. Even these have been hard to get hold off. The 3rd chemist I went to said they have ordered them for me and will be in tomorrow, fingers crossed they do come in. Has anyone else been given these as an alternative??

Your post got missed....I had something different! Estradot was out of stock from my dispensary's supplier (which I'd been using for 12 + years) so I was switched to Estraderm - but I think more have become available recently? There were plenty of these when I last got my prescription but they are ginormous! (Evorel are quite big though too?). I was happy with Estradot and now equally happy on estraderm apart from the size

I'm having trouble getting Estradot or Evorel. I tried an independent pharmacy today who said supplies of both are “sporadic”. Estraderm gives me a rash.

Wilks - have you tried online pharmacies? They will accept a prescription at usual costs.
