  "question": "Minivelle cost: eight-patch prices and 28-day supply checks",
  "answer": "A published cash-price guide lists $102.52 for eight Minivelle 0.05 mg/day patches. That is a four-week supply at twice-weekly use, not a guaranteed local quote or a price for every estradiol patch. Match brand, strength and replacement schedule.",

  "questions": [
    {
      "question": "Are eight patches a 30-day supply?",
      "answer": "At twice-weekly use they cover four weeks, or 28 days. Use the pharmacy’s prescribed refill schedule."
    },
    {
      "question": "Does 0.05 mg/day mean a new patch every day?",
      "answer": "No. It is the delivery rate; Minivelle is replaced twice weekly under its label."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can an estrogen-only patch replace CombiPatch on price alone?",
      "answer": "No. CombiPatch contains another hormone and is a different treatment."
    },
    {
      "question": "Does the listed price establish generic availability?",
      "answer": "No. Your pharmacy must verify the exact generic product, stock and substitution permissions."
