Lenzetto alternative to patches?

Anyone tried this? the patches just don't stay on me so I just get through a load of them or have sub optimal dose.

I see it's been licensed for UK and seems a good alternative to patches of faff of the gel.

It's so new I' d not even heard of it. Unlikely that GPs will be prescribing it.

@JinglingHellsBells Gp quite happy to prescribe if he can hold of it.

My question would be is it easy to alter the dose as it comes out as an aerosol with 1.5 mgs. Can you spray less if you want a lower dose. With gel, you can start on 1 pump of 0.75mgs.

I'll let you know as the GP manged to get hold of it ....

I was on 75microg patches so I'm not sure how that will equate. I think with the gel each pump is 25 microg?

Bit confused- your GP 'got hold of it' ? Don't you get a prescription and collect from a pharmacy?
