Brief Answer: They are both same : Estradiol Transdermal patches Detailed Answer: Hi, Thank you for your query. Yes Climara and vivelle patches are both the same. They are Estradiol Transdermal patches used to provide female hormone estrogen over long periods of time. Either can be used and if you find one cheaper it’s equally good. Feel free to ask any doubts. Regards.

Dr. Biswas, would you give me a prescription for Climara generic? For insurance reasons, Dr doesn't participate in Medicare & I have no supplement. The dose I've been taking is 0.075 that I take once per week. It works! Can you do so? Would you give me a prescription for Climara generic, 0.075MG once per week. I only have Medicare, my doctor no longer participates. I need your help. Is this possible? Is it possible for you to give me a prescription for Climara generic?

Brief Answer: Online prescriptions are not legal.. Detailed Answer: Dear XXXX It is both not ethical and legal for an online doctor to give you a prescription. Your pharmacist wouldn't accept it either. I will advice you to see a local doctor for the same. Regards
