Does this mean Estradot might be available soon?

The SSSP got updated on the 2nd May but unlike the previous repeated updates the 75mcg and 100mcg have been extended to 23rd May whereas the 50 and 25 are extended to July.

Hoping for the best but expecting the worst!

I just spoke to my pharmacist and he said it's likely it'll be extended beyond Friday...

Fingers crossed @MagpiePi although I wouldn't be surprised if they just extend it again at the last minute. I have checked the Boots online stock checker and it's still not available as far as I can see.

I switched to gel so I will sit tight and see what happens with the patches.

I won’t believe it until it happens but I wish they would hurry up!

It's been extended for 75 and 100mg but only to 6 June @MagpiePi so maybe gradually starting to reappear soon?

25 and 50mg is 4th July

They’ve been extending for another month or so, every month since January.
I did hear a while ago that the magic date was July. I don’t know why they can’t just give a more accurate date, even if it is several months ahead, and then at least I could get several months worth of replacement Evorel in one go instead of having to re-order and go to the chemist every few weeks. Maybe they are only allowed to review the date every month.

Extended to October now @MagpiePi :-(

I picked up my prescription today fully expecting to get evorel as an alternative but instead received my prescribed estradot 75mcg ( Lloyd’s pharmacy) Fingers crossed this is the end of the SSP
