Thanks for your reply Phillipa. Your question is exactly what those of in this situation have shaken our heads at. I use an estrogen patch that uses a different adhesive. No problem. The adhesive they have chosen to use is a known irritant. The company admits to a 20% reaction rate. It's actually much larger from what I hear. Why would they use this adhesive when there are so many other choices? A person from the company I spoke to told me they can't change the adhesive now because they got FDA approval with that ingredient and if they changed it they would have go through the approval process again. I don't know if this is true. I would really appreciate a reply from anyone who does know.
I was wondering; are there profesionals such as doctors and pharmacists that frequent this web site and respond to posts? I understand Dr. Bob does. How active is he as far as responses go?
Thanks again Phillipa.
