I have been on this medication for 6 years. I started out on premarin, and had headaches, with nervousness. Doctor tried me on Clamira 0.05mg. And it was wonderful. Made me feel like my old self again. I like the idea of taking a low dose of hormone. And this one of the lowest they make. Plus no pill to take. Change patch once a week and I'm good to go.

This generic patch works and stays in place so good that I think this generic patch stays on very good. It has never loosened even with multiple showering and washing. Maybe the person who thought they didn't work wasn't putting them on a clean, hairless area of skin.

Previously used Climara (clear patch) but switched to generic which costs me $28 less per month. In three years I've never had a problem getting it to stay on the whole week. Using name brand or generic I have to alternate patch from left and right abdomen due to slight itching whenever I place it on upper buttocks. It isn't clear but it works perfectly for me.

This patch DOES NOT stay on. I have to use Tegaderm to keep this patch on. Terrible. Don't use this generic patch.
