postmenopausal symptoms
"This refers to the Mylan estradiol twice weekly patches.  After 16 comfortable years using Vivelle Dot estradiol patches, I was supplied by Express Scripts with the new, supposedly "generic" Mylan estradiol transdermal dot patches in the same strength, 0.025 mg.  During the 4 1/2 weeks I used the Mylan product, I developed hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog and urinary tract infections.  I could not understand what was wrong until I recalled that my symptoms began when I started the Mylan product.  I found out that Vivelle Dots are still under patent.  Mylan patented its own competing transdermal patch in order not to infringe the Novertis patent.  It is NOT the same product.  A return to Vivelle Dots solved my problem."
