For Postmenopausal Symptoms "Used Sandoz brand for the first 8 Estradiol patches. No problem. Pharmacy switched to Mylan, a horrible experience. I use twice a week. After the first 2 days, it starts to itch and turn red. Burning sensation by day 3, and it's hard to remove and leaves deep red burn marks and continues to itch for a week. Marks remain on my body for over a month now. Not recommended!"

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "I had the Sandoz patch, and it was great - a nice, thin patch that I forget is there except that I feel much better. The next month, I got the Mylan patch that is covered by my provider. It is thicker and catches just a little bit on the edges. More importantly, it leaves red marks underneath upon removing it and small marks that look like burns around the edge. I've also seemed to have some itching around the patch while it is on. I will be switching back to Sandoz."

For Postmenopausal Symptoms "The Estradiol Patch causes redness, severe itching, and burning. I have marks that are taking months to heal. I have had other brands that do not cause this reaction. I am having a hard time getting a brand other than Mylan from my pharmacy."

For Osteoporosis "This estradiol patch will not stay on, and if water gets under it, it will cause itching and burning of the skin."
