Missing Evorel 50 patch

6 replies

SleepyTuesday · 01/12/2023 22:20

I am taking Evorel Sequi. I am due to put a new Evorel 50 patch on tomorrow. However, I am somehow one patch short. It would be my last patch of the four before switching to Everol Conti next Wednesday.

I called the GP surgery today to ask advice/get an extra patch. I ended up speaking to a nurse who was due to call me back after speaking to a GP and didn't.

So, now don't know what to do. GP closed tomorrow/Sunday so can't call back over weekend.

Should I just hold off changing the patch and put the Conti patch on Wednesday? Put the Conti on tomorrow?

Thanks in advance for advice.

Thanks for your reply. What do you mean? I don't have any more Evorel 50 patches. Do you mean start the Conti patch tomorrow?

Thanks. This is probably what I'll have to do.

Speak to your pharmacy if they're open tomorrow, your batch may have been one of these with the wrong number of patches, even if not they might be able to give you an emergency supply to keep you on track.

Thanks for your reply. Good idea. I hadn't heard about that. Maybe that's what happened!
