Estradot Supplies

Does anyone know why there is a shortage of Estradot, my pharmacy can’t currently order it and I will run out in a couple of weeks  :-\

Marsha if estradot 25s are available in your area, ask your drs if they will change your prescription to request 2x 25 patches and wear to 25s at once.

My surgery has done this in the past, and I wear all sorts of different patches to make up the dose I am on (125) . The daily  dose released on 2 x 25 patches is the same as one 50 patch.

Worth  asking until supplies are back properly.

Thanks Sarah T, I can see 75mg is in stock so could even cut off a 3rd if I get desperate or if 25mg stock returns, as you say, I can put two on  :)

Ok so theBMS.Org.uk have pulled their stock update on HRT Supplies, particularly the Estradot. Any ideas where else we can see stock updates?
