Estradot issues

[CharityShopChic]

Estradot is my preferred format of HRT. According to the British Menopause Society "Novartis UK is not experiencing any Estradot supply issues at present".

This is news to me as you cannot get it anywhere. Is anyone else sourcing regular, reliable supplies of Estradot patches?

I am under the Louise Newson clinic, so buy from there. Good luck!

Thanks, not really practical for me unfortunately. I'll just have to keep trying my pharmacy

A month ago I schlepped round all the local pharmacies and managed to get two boxes of 100s. So about to start the whole process again :(

I've never had an issue getting estrodot 100, been on it for a couple of years and always got if from the same pharmacy (Lloyds) with no problem. I'm in south wales.

Pharmacist in Ireland told me this morning that ''there are no supply issues now'' but he can only order what's been prescribed. So, If I go back on Saturday he'll have it. So it's only released to pharmacies on a ''prove you have a prescription to fulfil'' basis now, I gather.
Why don't they just make more of it!?
What am I missing?
If it was viagra or botox they'd make more.

Yeh, I hate that, as soon as it's off your ''to do'' list, it's back on it again.

I’ve had no luck now for a couple of weeks. I guess I will have to go back on everol- it makes my skin itch. I can’t shop round as the prescription is sent to a particular chemist by my gp. I’ll be phoning them again today, but they said the supplier doesn’t have any.

My prescription is also sent to a pharmacy, but if they are out of stock the pharmacist prints me a paper copy which I can take elsewhere. Could you ask your pharmacist to do the same @BigButtons ?

Thanks for that- didn’t know that- I will phone again today and ask for a print out if they still haven’t got any 👍🏻🙂
