Oestrogen Patient Information Leaflet

Oestrogel is used to relieve symptoms of the menopause, such as hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. It delivers oestrogen through the skin as part of hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
Apply Oestrogel once a day to clean, dry skin on the upper arms, shoulders, or thighs. Let it dry fully before getting dressed, and avoid washing the area for at least an hour.
Yes, but if you still have your womb, your doctor will usually prescribe a progestogen alongside Oestrogel to protect the womb lining from overgrowth.
Many women start noticing improvement in their menopause symptoms within a few weeks of using Oestrogel, but it may take up to three months for full effects.
If you forget to apply Oestrogel, use it as soon as you remember — unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Do not double up to make up for a missed application.
