Estrog/methyl 1.25/2.5

I had to have a complete hysterectomy at the age if 19 due to cancer. I was put on estrogen 2mg. I was on it for years and then they found a mass in both breast so I had to have surgery and have them removed. It wwasn't cancer. They rrefused to put me back on hormone replacement so for five years things just kept getting worse. I went to a new ob/gyn and he prescribed me the estrogen/methyl 1.25/2.5. The first bottle i got was name brand and had no issues. Now I had to switch to mail order pharmacy because if my insurance or pay 100% of the cost if I chose to go to a different place so I had to switch. They sent me a 90 day supply of the generic and now i have this awful rash on my chest. I have not switched any bath soap, laundry detergent or anything else. This has been the only change!!! This rash itches so bad that it is keeping me up at night. I have tried everything you can buy over the counter to put on this rash. I have taken benadryl. I am wondering if this generic form is really different and if I am allergic. Please help!!!

Hello, Roxie! How are you? I'm sorry about the rash and itchiness.

Yes, it sounds like you may be allergic to something in these generic ones.

What are the markings on them? This information would enable me to look them up and check the inactive ingredients for you.

Have you spoken to your doctor? They may be able to change the prescription so your pharmacy can only give you the brand name.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability and weight changes.
