For Postmenopausal Symptoms "The patches came off after 1 day! They stick strongly initially, but after 1 sweaty workout, it came off! I paid $198 for 4 patches, I can't afford 1 a day!"

For Atrophic Vaginitis "Like it so far except I'm bleeding a lot. My doctor says it's normal for the first 6 months. It's like having a period 2 weeks of the month. Other than that I think I'm more chilled, no hot flashes."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I had high hopes for Climara, but it’s nasty. In a day or two, the glue leaches out around the edges and is black and sticky. Ugly product!"
