Est Estrog/mtest Ds Tab (Page 2)

I have been taking the brand drug Estratest, Not Estrates HS. My last prescription was a generic (GLENMARK) and it was the dark green, same as the brand name. I just went to my pharmacy and they provided the light green (Brenckrdg) which I am told is the higher dose 1.25mg/2.5mg.
Why would your company not be consistent with Glenmark generic, and the brand in the color of the drug and dose?
I read on your website that your light green is the doseage of 1.25mg/2.5mg. Is this correct and why would you not be consistent with the color so as not to confuse patients. Also, what is the color of your generic Estratest HS?
Thank you for your reply.

I have been taking estratest ds for 20 years with good results. I also have had low thyroid and have been taking synthroid. Since they discontinued making estratest ds, my Dr. had the pharmacist custom make a new rx which contains 1.25 estrogen, 2 mg testosterone, some progesterone to help counteract the estrogen causing breast cancer, along wirth 10 mg of DHE, which she said would enhance the testerone benefits without the negative side effects. I was wondering if any one has used this formula. I had such great luck with the original estratest, I'm afraide to take this new RX.

I have been on Estratest DS for over 20 yrs. My pharmacy changed manufacturers last August and I never noticed, but had been there to complain about how awful this new medication was. I went to Publix with my new PX in June to get it priced out and was told that my PX had been decreased to HS instead of DS. Now I understand why I have so many changes this year!!!

I took EstratestHS for years, then Estratest DS. I've tried every generic and can't understand why no one can duplicate Solvay's formula. My latest (Covaryx ) came in the mail today. Any feedback?

Hello to all of my beautiful sisters in the womam hood. I too had a complete removal, and from that day in 1965 I have been on Premarian 1.25. It has worked fine with me, it got rid of all of my mood swings, hot flashes, and it stop dries in my vaginal. I was in the Hospital having knee replacement done, and one of my nurses and I became engage in a conversation about this, and she said that she has been taking the light color pill with IP-78. I asked my personal doctor about putting me on that brand. Before she did she ran various tests on me to see if there would be a problem, and it was not, and she put me on them. I tried it for a while, but it did not do as good of a job controlling my hot flashes, and guess what I am taking now, my Premarians. Good luck ladies because when it is all done and said, we have to work with what works for us. "Love Ya"

I have been taking estrogen test now for 10 yrs, since the removal of my ovaries. The stamp on the oval light green pill is 1507. I have not had any side affects from taking this and it truly has been a life saver for me.
