Hi PearlJ - there seems to be a lot of ignorance out there!

Evorel conti does not come in 25 mcg doses - it is only the Evorel oestrogen only patches that come in different doses. If you feel it is the wrong dose anyway then maybe just cut a quarter off it (both the Evorel 50 and the Eovrel conti part of the cycle) to give 37.5 mcg?

You are dead right about that! When you rely on experts and they don’t have a clue, what chance do you have! I had a nurse appt last week and she’s supposed to be a menopause nurse. She was googling to find out which way I should cut my patch!

It is mega confusing and it does seem to be the pharmacists that don’t want to endorse it as my own chemist said no the same as the link. I’m halving evorel conti 50 patches so maybe I should ask for 25mg patches to be on the safe side. I’m not 100% sure the dose is right yet because I’ve been back to feeling really tearful this weekend.

A cynic might think the pharmacists are incentivised by the drug companies!
