Suggest Alternative For Minivelle Estradiol Patch
I am trying to find out what the best replacement is for my 1 mg minivelle estradiol patch since the price has gone up to $83 a mo. Co pay on Medicare. I am allergic to the adhesive on the generic. Should I take a pill, or use the sray, gel or what? And what would be the equivelent dosage? Thank you
