Estratest Generic On Indefinite Back Order! (Page 4) (Top voted first)

Could this mean it may no longer be produced? I had a complete hysterectomy in 2000 and nothing else has worked for me! HELP!

WAY to go, Bren! If that doesn't work, try ANI pharmaceuticals. They are making the EXACT same thing. I know SAMS has it and other places can order it! Great news! I hope you feel 100% again!

I was taking Estratest and my insurance drug co could not get it. They switched me to Covaryx and my face immediatly broke out and I started having hot flashes. It is not the same even though that is what my ins told me.

Hi Allison,

Covaryx and Estratest should contain the same estrified estrogen and methyltestosterone. But it does come in two different doses, full strength and half strength. Check to make sure they did not change the dosage amount. The half strength has HS after the name, so Covaryx HS is half strength.

Which privately owned pharmacy did you get yours filled at ??? I am having the same problem and I'm very concerned that I won't be able to get Estratest HS. I get very anxious and have really bad feelings when I don't take it, so this situation really upsets me. Don't know if there is anything out there that is comparable to Estratest HS. If anyone has tried anything comparable to Estratest that has worked as good, please let me know !!!

It's called Corner Stone Pharmacy...here in Arkansas. But I also got a big supply of it at Walgreens. I bought as much as I could. Private pay. It's called Est Estrgn Methtest on the label. CALL a local Walgreens and check if they have it. I sure hope they do. Don't panic. We go thru this all the time...seriously.

I was finally able to get full strength EST through my family pharmacy. They do not carry HS anymore. My pharmacist said it was perfectly safe to cut them in half. So my script now lasts 2 months, instead of one. It has been the only solution for me so far.

Hi Sissie,

Check post #44 on this thread. It has a number of Estratest equivalent products listed.

Well, I'm new to this, but had to jump in and tell my story and find out the current status...I started taking the "real" Estratest" when it first came on the market. it was a mental life saver, and I mean that seriously. When the brand went away, I was switched to the Amneal product. I could tell it did not work the same, had my levels checked by my Gyn and sure enough, had to go on an additional estrogen source (Amneal and another estrogen (also another story of frustration and changing manufacturers)). Last week when I had my script filled it was a dark green, still says Estrgn Methtest 1.25/2.5, but it is NOT the same. I am back to feeling like I want to cry for no reason. The pharmacist says the Amneal product is on "backorder".
I will call tomorrow to find out the current manufacturer and I guess start the call around to try to locate Amneal. Can't stand the way I'm feeling.
I would appreciate any current news of where things stand...

Just to let you know, the number on the pill #1507 is from a different manufacturer other than Solvay. My Walgreens store told me they did not buy jfrom the manufacturer any more, but bought from the company that makes #1507 pil..which is estratrace.

Hello all, I just went to purchase my estratest and found that the price had gone up 450 % !!!!!!! It is a war on women! I called the two manufacturer AMNEAL and ANI and they were so rude and told me that they had nothing to do with this increase, which they think I am stupid, because the only reason that the distributor would increase that much would be because of the manufacturer! From $79 for three months to $356 for three months. Does anyone know who the distributors are? I am going to take this to the news. It is not right and I am sure it was due to OBAMA CARE

Oh wow. Have you tried any free discount coupons for prescriptions that YOU print and take to your pharmacy? I certainly would call every local pharmacy to make sure that price increase is for REAL. It's awful.

I just went to Sam's Club and 3 months supply went from $93 to $289. They told me only one supplier and they do not know why the price keeps changing. This is so sad that no one can help.. Live in Pa.

I had been using Estratest 0.625 for several years and was feeling, "normal" again. The generic made my face is cystic type acne and facial and body hair. My doctor switched me to covaryx hs and I feel great but I look horrible. My clear complexion I once had is gone. I'm having to take Orencia and use cream as well to try to keep the break outs under control. Facial and neck hair problem is horrible. I quit taking covaryx hs four days ago and my face is clearing up and facial hair growth is getting better. However, I feel horrible. I'm depressed, have trouble concentrating, vaginal dryness, lizard skin and no libido. Has anyone else experienced the same problems? I have an appointment with my doctor next week.

So I will share with you what I do. Even the half strength was getting too much for my system. I was holding fluid. My socks left in prints in my ankles, etc.
So I take the half strength pill and cut it in half. Take it the same time every morning after breakfast. I don't have hot flashes and feel physically fine. I do admit my energy level decreased just a little. But I do very well now on cutting the half strength pill in half. Going for days without it must be horrid. Please try my system before u give up. Hugs.

I went to CVS here in Arkansas and they have the Amneal Green Estratest. I enquired how much it would be without INSURANCE and they quoted me around $38 for a months supply. That would be the half-strength. Good luck.l.

I've been using covaryx for about a year since my pharmacist stopped selling estratest. It doesn't work quite as well, but does keep the hot flashes at bay...although sometimes not quite as effectively.
