I have been a long term patient on this treatment and experienced additional benefits related to alleviation of cardiac symptoms, continued elasticity of skin, and skin tone. I have been told that the product is no longer available, and have yet to find another estrogen product that produces the same results. I would like to know how to acquire the product, or, is there an accessible replacement ...
The patch falls off and is terribly large. I hate this patch and it should be taken off the market. I have to tape it on.

This most likly is not the right dose for me it seemed to work for maybe 2 weeks and then I was back at square one. I had been taking oral medication for menopause prior to wearing this patch. However what I could not understand was that considering how expensive these patches are why Novartis does not include an additional patch as a backup when the estraderm patch begins to come off due to showers or clothing, I am not saying an additional medicated patch but perhaps something similar to a band aid that would fit over the patch to help keep it secure until it is time to change. That in my opinion has been the most diffiult issue with it, it does not stay in place for more than 2 days.Read More Read Less
