Guest guest Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 Hollis - I didin't know that the patch delivered more than it indicates on the package? That's interesting. I wonder what I'm getting at .075 mg patch? Hi, Dusty. Thanks for that info about the Vivelle Dot versus Climara when it comes to the adhesive reaction. I know EXACTLY what you mean about running out of areas of unreddened skin to put the next patch on. Not good! I'd be curious to know if i'd have the same improvement as you if i switched to the Vivelle Dot. I just received my oral drops from Pete H. today. In fact, i just played with doing my first test dose between writing the last sentence and this one. . . . lol. . . and it's still hanging out under my tongue. It comes in a dropper-type bottle with a skinny little syringe that fits into the top and draws out the exact number of drops you want. I can see how this could quickly turn into a hassle, having to do this twice a day, but i'll give it a whirl before coming to any conclusions. About your question: My understanding is that the patch dose amount (0.035 or your .050. . . or whatever) is the amount that you're receiving per day transdermally. Because of what's lost via the oral route of administration, THAT'S why, in the example i gave, it would take a larger amount -- 1 mg. oral -- to equal the .05 mg. transdermal. Hollis Quote
