HRT Availability

[Spartonian]

Has anyone managed to get previous out of stock items yet?

Mainly asking about Evorel as the Evorel Mono 50 should be re available now and the Evorel Conti in a few days time.

The one I need is showing as available from the end of March just wondering how true this is and what I will have to get instead otherwise.

Is there a HRT shortage?? I've obviously missed something, I thought it was just my stupid chemist, I've been waiting for my everol conti patches since December now, the night sweats and hot flushes are driving me nuts! 😩
Can anyone fill me in on the issue with HRT?

There has been a HRT shortage since the middle of last year

Thank you for that.. I must have been living in a bubble 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

I wonder how long it will take though until Evorel is readily available in pharmacies

@IndieTara

Evorel Mono 50 14th February 2020

Evorel Conti 21st February 2020

Evorel Mono 25 March 2020

Evorel Mono 75 March 2020

Evorel Mono 100 March 2020

Evorel Sequi End March 2020

@Spartonian yes i saw that thanks for posting.!i bet it takes longer than that date to hit the pharmacies for a regular supply though

I was listening to a radio 4 programme about this. It’s because the NHS negotiated a low price for this. It’s produced overseas and because the UK got the low price we’re always bottom of the supply chain.

I have a few boxes of Evorel Sequi which a friend gave me but I'm on Conti and can't use them. Any use to anyone here? It's either 5 or 6 packs I have and I'd be happy to post a box each out to a few people. Let me know.

Feel like a drug dealer but they're just sitting there unused so someone might as well have them.

Someone posted last week (?) that she had got the Evorel 50 patches.

@Wacadu yes please can you PM me

Pussysgalore you should have got in touch with your GP to see if you could have got an alternative.
I'm using generic patches atm, they are a bit crap sticking on but are doing the job.

I have been using each patch for between 5-7 days but I started getting night sweats and mood swings back.

I really really hope that the latest date availability's are correct.

@Cocolapew do you know where they got them from?

I have just seen this

As of 14th February 2020, Evorel Mono 50 and Evorel Conti patches are once again available in UK pharmacies.

Just said an independent chemist.

Thank you

Mine are the Everol Sequi so I've still got to wait until the end of March. I'm really struggling with night sweats and hot flushes but I'm feeling much brighter with less brain fog. I'm on two minds whether to go back on them. How is everyone else getting on without their patches?

I've had to swap brand 3 or 4 times in the past year. I seem to gain weight every time I swap. I'm feeling fairly stable now on kliovance. I'm hoping that won't go out of stock. It's so frustrating.

GP swapped me onto Kliovance last year and they've been awful. Just haven't worked for me at all

Evorel Conti seems to be trickling back in to stock. The pharmacy my prescription was with was sent one box this week, so luckily I now have another months supply.
I was prescribed 6 boxes back in October and I am still owed 1

I JUST got a 6 month prescription but thankfully found it at the third chemist I tried. The second one said it was in stock at the suppliers. But I'm on basic low dose tablets.

I have a prescription for evorel 50 but I can't get it anywhere. According to the manufacturer website it was available again on 14/2.

Any luck yet @Munchietime?

@Spartonian A friend in the north of England (I'm in the south) managed to track down 3 months supply. My prescription is for 6. I sent her the prescription and she collected it and sent it back to me. Ridiculous. It's definitely back though. I spoke to the manufacturer Theramax. So I'm hoping it's a distribution problem that will be sorted soon.
