Has anyone else had difficulty with sourcing estradot 50 patches? I've just been to my local chemist who have been very helpful but they do not have any, and neither do the other two chemists in my town. They have been in touch with their wholesaler who says they will not get any until 1st July. There apparently seems to be a problem with the manufacturer. I have only been getting a month's supply of patches at a time as we are still trying to sort me out!
Anyway it has given me the opportunity to speak to another doctor in the surgery who has agreed to trying me on oestrogel. I have tried other patches and I seem to have an allergy to the adhesive. Unbelievably when I spoke about the size of the patches, and that estradot is slightly better for me as it is the smallest, the GP said their little book they look things up in doesn't refer to the size of the patch.
Here's hoping I have better luck with the gel, both in terms of allergy and symptom control.
