Thanks Dotty. Very helpful. Good to see most products back in production and in stock so hopefully any local shortages will gradually ease too.:)

That's interesting as my chemist told me today they can't get Estradot or Estraderm 75mg even though it says Estradot is available on your list  😑

it's taking a few days to come through. A week ago I was told there were no Evorel patches and the Doc needed to prescribe gel, but by the time I went to pick up the prescription on Wednesday they had 2 boxes of patches and said the others would be in by Monday next week. Things are indeed looking up.

Lloyds told me they had 9 people on back log waiting weeks for Estradot, then told me Estraderm not in stock at suppliers either. I don't understand if your BMS leaflet says available why am I being told they're not ?.

 Have you tried a different chemist Lillith?
My last prescription in March, I was told by one chemist it would take a month to get the Estradot.
I rang Novartis who said they were releasing supplies every week.
I went to a different chemist and picked up my full supply within a couple of days.

Salad I've tried Lloyds, Badhams and Boots. I've not tried Tesco yet.
