flag New Zealand's Medsafe is independently testing Estradot patches after 149 women reported poor adhesion and ineffective relief.

flag Medsafe has launched independent testing of Estradot oestrogen patches after 149 complaints from New Zealand women reporting poor adhesion and ineffective symptom relief. flag The manufacturer, Sandoz, acknowledged about 50 complaints and tested U.S. batches, but Medsafe is now assessing New Zealand-specific batches using local labs due to concerns over testing adequacy. flag The agency is investigating whether the issue is unique to New Zealand or part of a broader international pattern, with similar reports in the UK. flag Medsafe is working with Sandoz and global regulators, emphasizing transparency and regular updates. flag The Ministry of Health maintains the product remains effective for most users.
