Urgent!!!!! I have a serious predicament at the moment. I live in Spain and take Nuvelle. The chemist has told me that Nuvelle is not being made any more. The pharmacologist went could not receive any advice on an alternative drug. Surely there must be something, as all the thousands of women taking Nuvelle cannot just stop. Please can you advise me, I just have 7 days left. I have not had a hysterectomy and my Mum suffers from serious osteoporosis. I am a nurse, age 54.
Thank you
Megan

Hi Megan, I am in the same predicament as you , Ihave been taking nuvelle for 16 years (am 63) the doctor kept me on it because it suited me, and I had a fall 8 years ago and broke my hip, though when tested my bone density was only slightly low. I think its appalling it can be stopped just like this, my current GP has put me on cyclo-progynova which I have been taking now for 21 days, and let me tell you, dont I know!! Dizzy spells, night sweats, i am not sure about this at all, regards Lesley

Hello Megan and Lesley, I'm another Nuvelle user who's just found out it's been discontinued. I've been taking it - very happily - for 8 years (now 58).
I too am appalled at what appears to be such a sudden withdrawal of this product. Looking around there doesn't seem to be an equivalent formulation - cyclo-progynova is the nearest I've found, though Lesley's experience doesn't look good.
I start my last (3-month) pack tomorrow so my GP is in for some heavy questioning about where I go from here.

Hi Megan and Frances,
Just to update you, have been in touch with the manufacturers of Nuvelle, ie Bayer Schering Pharma......no answers, or suggestions on a near substitute for nuvelle were forthcoming! Looks like we really got duped here!! Good luck, if you manage to find a near likeness to nuvelle, please inform asap!

hi Megan and francis
i have just spoken to my doctor has i have been on nuvelle for 12 years(56) now. shr has now starting me on nuvelle continous one same tablet every day and you dont get a bleed. hope this helps let you know how i get on.

Hi i too have just changed to Nuvelle continuous but i feel it does not suit me. A gynaecologist associate of mine has recommended Tridestra as there is not so much progetserone. Worth a try.

Hi Linda thats a shame it took me o couple of months to get used to, ive now been on them 5mths and their really great no side affects at all
