"This estradiol patch really helped me. I had tried estradi had tried estrogen creams they gave me severe migraines. You can tell if you forget to put the patch on you start getting flashes and anxious"

"I've been on this Estradiol patch since I had a full hysterectomy in 2003. No issues until my pharmacy ordered the Sandoz patch manufactured by 3M Drug Delivery Systems instead of the one from Noven Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Both are .0375 mg/day. The 3M patch is much larger, doesn't stick, causes rash, causes hot flashes, bad breast tenderness and growth, migraines, and loss of sleep. I had to cut the patch, since it was too much Estrogen. The Noven patch seems to be identical to Vivell Dot and works as directed for me. Beware of the Manufacturer! I rate 3M a ZERO, and Noven a 10."

"Mylan Patch sticks poorly, unloads estrogen quickly then quits before 1/2 a week is up."

"Worthless - will not stay on - to the point that the company should be looked into for producing such a defective delivery system."

"Estradiol Patch has improved my mood, sleep, cognitive ability beyond measure. But I can feel that at day six it has worn off. Need a way to get it to last full 7 days."

"I was on the brand name Minneville for several years and was fine. However, the genetic equivalent did NOT work for me. It was like I want even wearing it. I'm going back to the brand name."

"The worst patches ever! I’ve used them on several locations and they hardly last one day. A total waste of money. It adds up to 5 to 7 patches per week. They should be taken off the market."

"My Rx was changed to the Mylan brand estrogen patch after I relocated out of state and changed insurance as well as pharmacies and after being on Climara for over a year with no issues. The Mylan brand was crap. They fell off after 3-5 days, supposed to wear them for 7. By day two my skin was completely red and rashed out more than 5" in diameter under the patch no matter where I put them. I had to used these for 4 weeks until my doctor, pharmacy and insurance could get it together and put me back on the Climara brand."
