Oestrogel 80 g (Estradiol)

Oestrogel 80 g is a transdermal gel containing 0.06% w/w estradiol, a bioidentical form of estrogen. It’s designed for Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) to alleviate symptoms experienced by women during and after menopause. As natural estrogen levels decline, Oestrogel effectively replaces this hormone, providing relief from common menopausal discomforts such as hot flushes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and mood swings. Applied directly to the skin, it allows for a steady absorption of estrogen into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system and liver, which may reduce certain risks associated with oral HRT. Oestrogel also helps in the prevention of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women at high risk of fractures. This prescription-only medication should be used as directed by a healthcare professional, often alongside progesterone for women with an intact uterus.
