For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I switched pharmacy and was given the Dotti patch rather than the Sandoz patch like I had before. Immediately, my energy level dropped, chills, headache, and drenching night sweats. This is not for me!"

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I used this convenient little patch for a week, and I began to experience symptoms related to blood clots: ankles were so swollen, I couldn’t see my ankle bones, so my doctor prescribed compression socks. Other symptoms were dizziness, nausea, shortness of breath, and headaches. I removed the patch, and within 24 hours, all symptoms disappeared. I’d have ended up in the emergency room if I had kept using this patch."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I had a terrible vasomotor reaction. First and last time I used it, after 18 hours, the patch bottomed out, and I started having hot flashes. I was shaking, had a brain-buster headache, and severe nausea. Fortunately, I still had some of my generic Noven patches left over. I ripped off the Dotti and put on the one I usually used, and within 30 minutes, I was fine. Dotti is garbage, yet pharmacies are pushing it right now. Must be getting paid to do so."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "After using Dotti for a week, I couldn't understand why my peri symptoms were returning. The most noticeable was the urinary urgency and headaches. I felt as if I was being over-medicated. Previously I was using a patch that just said Estradiol, it worked fine! I'm grateful to know that I am not alone, that this brand is not right in some way! I have messaged my doctor about the problem and hope she will send me a new Rx with a different brand ASAP!"
