The TGA is urging doctors against initiating new patients on oestrogen patches, amid news that the shortage is expected to continue until December 2025.

Half a dozen transdermal oestradiol (Estradot) patches — which have been in short supply since 2020 — are currently unavailable across all strengths due to manufacturing issues.
