Yes - that’s how my DD’s is prescribed - to cut it in half.

You need to talk to a doctor and/or pharmacist who specifically knows the exact patch you are using. It is possible cutting the patch could cause more rapid absorption, which would not be good.

I would call insurance or ask Dr to and explain it is replacing the one you have.

Yes you can

Yes, I cut mine in half as recommended by my doctor. Place it lower down or it will tend to fall off.

Doubtful. It is time release and probably will surge. Call manufacturer and ask.
Call insurance. Typically a new dose is a new fill.
Call manufacturer of new patch maybe you can get coupon. Ask pharmacy price if you had no insurance they have coupons too.

I was just prescribed a lower dosage of estrogen. However, I am currently on a higher dosage and still have patches left to use. My insurance will not cover the new dose patches until I run out of my older, higher patches. Can I cut my current patch to match the new dosage?
