New here - Evorel shortage
« on: September 18, 2019, 09:23:59 PM »

Hi, i'm new so i apologise if this has been covered already.

I've been prescribed EVRA patches as a substitute for Evorel Conti (50) + Evorel 50, I wear 2 patches & change them Fridays & Tuesdays.  The EVRA patch is worn for 7 days. I'm 55 and the EVRA patch says not to be used over 45 years.

Just wondering if anyone is in the same boat ..

Hi Izzie18. Just off to bed but wanted to say Hi and welcome.

As far as I know the Evra patch is a contraceptive patch? I don't think anyone else on here has been swapped to this patch but I'm sure you will have lots of advice from others soon.

I've still got some Evorel left and my pharmacist thinks he can obtain them until the end of October. They should be available again by the middle of next year. Have you checked all of the pharmacies in your area as the supply is patchy (!) but it is still available in some areas.

Sorry not to have been more helpful but will find out more about Evra tomorrow.
