Hrt supply issues
« on: November 22, 2022, 01:54:49 AM »

Hi,
I've been prescribed estradot 50 and Utrogestan; however no local pharmacies have these in stock. I'm desperate to start hrt as my mood is so low that I quit work last week. Please - can anyone advise on where I could try to get these? Thanks

I saw a message yesterday from someone who had contacted Besins about Utrogestan. They said there had been a supply issue but should be remedied this week.

You can have any 50 patch… Estradot, Evorel, Estraderm. Ring round lots of pharmacies. Look on the Boots prescription checker xx

I'm having the same problem getting FemSeven patches. Going to ask GP today for an alternative.

I know, lol! Thankfully I have some oestrogel left to tide me over. I don't seem to do very well on it though, need more than the recommended dose to control my symptoms-menopause specialist wants me to try patches instead, hence the script for FemSeven. Not that bothered about having to have a different brand as I havent started FemSeven yet, but hope I don't get issues getting hold of whatever replacement GP prescribes. Seems pot luck!

I am having trouble getting hold of Utrogestan too. Been waiting for 2 weeks for chemist to get it. Just checked today with them and still not got it. I have 2 weeks supply left so hoping they get it in before I use that up otherwise will have to contact GP . Pharmacist said he had no idea when it would come in, can anyone tell me what an alternative to it is please. I am on oestrogel as well but have 3 months supply of that already.
