User Reviews for CombiPatch transdermal

I have been on the combi patch for over 20 years! Iv had no problems! I’m 65 this year and just found out that Medicare will not pay for it! I’ve had no night sweats, not hot flashes, no bleeding and I have felt like I’m 30!

Has worked great for me until recently. Manufacturer changed adhesive and now having terrible reaction as have others I have discovered. Extreme itching, burning, dried red skin and the patch falls off prior to time change out. Not working as effectively because of this. Adhesive used to be great with no complaints at all. PLEASE go back original adhesive and replace what I currently have been prescribed. I xant take this anymore!

I've been on the combipatch for a year. I did begin experiencing heavy bleeding in Jan 2021 fairly regularly. In February it was regular but light and March light bleeding in first week now nothing. I've recently in the last couple of weeks had very light hot flash and actually last night a night sweat. I've been very satisfied until Jan 2021. I'd been menopausalfor about 4 years until I started taking Climarapro in August 2019 which caused excessive bleeding after about 2 months and continued for 6 months until my doctor finally prescribed combipatch. I began combipatch in Jan 2020. I've read where women claim the patch causes cancer. If you have not got a uterus then you don't need progesterone so yes it can cause cancer and also if you're menopausal over 10 years the HRT isn't safe. There are special factors that could cause cancer. I recommend Dr Barbara Taylor aka menopause barbie. Check her out on YouTube or her website. She gave me the answers that influenced my positive outlook on HRT. Basically just keep going until you find what works for you. The benefits in my opinion outweigh the risks.Read More Read Less

I have used combipatch for over a year. Took away all my menopausal systems. The most recent batch I received is definitely different. The disk is more rigid as the past was pliable. Also, I am now experiencing pretty significant irritation from this new patch but no issue prior. Trying to tough it out but its very uncomfortable. Wondering why

i've been on this patch for 11 yr; i never took it at full strength (1 patch twice a week) as even 1/wk caused bloating and breast pain. i've tapered over the years and now am at 1/2 patch every 10 days (on the 10th, 20th, 30th of each month). i tried tapering to Zero last year, and my hot flashes returned after 3-4 wk. hopefully, i can continue tapering successfully over the next few yrs.

I have been using the patch for almost 9 months. While hot flashes, night sweats and moodiness have gone away I am left having irregular spotting that lasts for 3-5 days a month. My doctor suggests half a patch we will see if this is effective.

I, too, have been on and off the patch. I tried it and hated the red itchiness of the patch, even after I take it off, the spot itches and is red for a week. I tried estrogen gel for a year, but it didn't work as well and I needed to use progesterone. So, recently, I went back on Combipatch. It's been 2 weeks. It works well for menopause symptoms, but the red itchiness drives me crazy. I put up with it because the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. I wish there were something I could put on topically to ease it all. I don't want to give it up. Any ideas?Read More Read Less

I developed breast cancer after being on this drug for almost 3 years. There is no other breast cancer in my family and genetic testing proved that the cancer was not from a genetic mutation. three of my cancer doctor's said the cancer was because I was on the Combipatch. According to Noven's label, the risks of breast cancer are very minimal. Don't believe it. If you are taking this drug, get off of it and get your yearly mammogram. My cancer could not be felt from from self exams. Please don't take this risk.I know how bad menopause can be, but cancer is so much worse.Read More Read Less

Love this combi patch. Felt immediate relief within a week from hot flashes, irritable. Noticed weight gain due to feeling hungry all the time. Cut the patch in half which is much better. Working on my diet habits to lose the weight. Overall it is a winner!

I have used this for 15 years successfully inhibiting hot flashes. I donâ??t have any problems with the patches adhering and I wear them for a whole week. I had some bleeding so have backed down to 1/2 patch a week which is enough for me. The company has terrible customer support and would not replace the 2 defective patches I got which did not adhere. They are ridiculously expensive.

Was given this to help with hot flashes, mood changes, irritability etc. for those who say patch wonâ??t stay on-apply immediately after bathing when skin is clean and dry. Otherwise use alcohol to swab area clean, dry completely, then apply. I swim daily in our pool and have to peel the patches off when theyâ??re due to be removed. Have had success with patch thus far and would recommend.

Used the patch for nearly three years. Worked on the hot flashes. They stopped completely. Unfortunately, it caused periods (heavy) every two weeks and cramps the entire two weeks before the period. I've been off the patch for about two months now and the hot flashes have returned. Seeing another doctor in a few weeks for some help!

Ladies use some 3M Nexcare gentle paper tape to help the patches stick. It works for me :). Iâ??m 55 and have been experiencing server hot flashes, night sweats, virginal dryness and everything else that goes along with menopause. For the last two months they had me on Climara patch but because I have my uterus and ovaries they switch me to the Combi patchâ??s. The climara had me feeling wonderful instantly now that Iâ??m on these new patches not sure. Feels like I want to have a hot flash and my legs feel heavy. Iâ??m hoping this will go away. I also woke with a headache this morning. But this is so much better than living in â??Eruptionvilleâ??. God bless ladies. Read More Read Less

I have been used it for 3 months , start heavy bleeding like periods. My doctor told me to stop using pills.

It works but the problem is that it wont stay on so i have to use another one . They are expensive and i cant afford for them to keep coming off the same day that o put one o .

Was prescribed this for menopause/low estrogen; however I carry extra weight in my abdomen region - as such, I've had difficulty with the patch sticking. In addition, it's very expensive - my Rx doesn't fully cover it so my co-pay is $160 for 8 patches; lastly, I get consistently get a severe migraine 36 to 42 hours within applying a patch.

Stays on for entire 3-4 days/week. Helped with emotions, sleeping, headaches

I am 53 and have suffered from extreme hot flashes, night sweats and insomnia for over 1 year before trying the combi patch. Was hesitant to go on it because of my history of large deposits of breast calcifications up against breast implants, resulting in surgical removal of a large amt of breast tissue and uterine cysts. My quality of life was horrible, 30 pouring sweat episodes a day and having to change sheets during the night. I was severely depressed and my work performance was suffering. I decided to accept the risk and after 2 days my hot flashes were completely gone,sleep improved considerably within the first week which helped my depression. I've been on it for 1 month today. It's a night Read More Read Less
