Is anyone using the Menostar patch?

Posted by tillymack @tillymack, Jan 22 8:53pm

I've just been prescribed Menostar estradiol ultra low dose patch. Is anyone here using this to support bone health? Thank you.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

I've researched Menostar but it's extremely expensive and not covered by Medicare insurance. Has anyone found a generic Menostar patch? It would be very beneficial for those of us who were deprived HRT for so many years.

@bethieb I actually get the .025 rectangle shaped patch and cut in half. My dr said that’s fine as long as it adheres well which it seems to. I had the round shape previously but but it kept falling off
