Vivelle Reviews
For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I've been on Vivelle for at least 4 years now. HRT pills upset my stomach and were not as effective for me. I tried the generic version of Vivelle, but it was a much larger patch and did not stick as well. The adhesive on the generic also gave me a rash. Stick to the brand on this one would be my recommendation. I'm down to the lowest dose, hopefully, I will be done completely in another year or so. But this has saved my sanity and that of those around me."
For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I have been on the Vivelle Dot for 3 years after having my hysterectomy. It is wonderful and has controlled my hot flashes, night sweats, breast tenderness, and dry skin. The Vivelle Dot is a much better drug for me than Premarin. The Premarin was making my skin literally very dry and shriveled. At first, the Premarin was fine, and after several years, it started to have a very different effect on me, causing pain during intercourse and very dry skin. I changed to Vivelle Dot, and all symptoms went away."
