Guest guest Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Hi Kae, That's more what I thought, and what I had read, but the post that I copied said it releases 8mg, which seemed to be a lot more than I thought. Thank you! Gael Hey Gael, The packaging says Estraderm 100 releases 100 micrograms (.1mg) per day. The patch may contain 8mg, but apparently it doesn't all get absorbed. On pharmacy sites that sell it you can find charts that show the rate of release. Estradot 75 releases 75mcg per day according to the packaging info. Kae Re: Re: has anyone experienced a dermoid cyst on hormones/al... I just reread this. Do you mean that someone who is on the .1 patch is getting 8mg of E daily?? I was told that the .1 patch still falls in the "low dose" description. I am currenly on a .075 patch and thought that was low dose, but if .1 is high dose, then mine wouldn't be low either. I'm very confused! Gael My mother, who got off WP the same time as me hasn't been able to get her dose as low as I've gotten mine. She has a doc who is always going on about "the lining, the lining" so that gets the P story going and I'm concerned that Mom is a bit overdosed again if she needs a 100 patch every 3 days. From my memory an Estraderm 100 is about 8 mg of E total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
