Estradiol: Choices Outside of the Patch

Estradiol: Choices Outside of the Patch

The ongoing estrogen patch shortage has left many women wondering what to do when their usual prescription simply isn’t available. In this episode of Menopause Rescue, Dr. Polly Watson walks through practical alternatives to the estradiol patch, including estradiol gel, Evamist, Femring, and other routes of estrogen therapy. She explains the pros and cons of each option, important differences between Femring and Estring, and why she remains cautious about oral, sublingual, and compounded injectable estrogen.

Dr. Watson also shares her own experience trying Femring and why it changed her mind about this systemic estrogen option. The goal: help women understand that even during the patch shortage, there are still several ways to access estrogen therapy and work with their healthcare provider to find an appropriate alternative.
