What is Oestrogel?

Oestrogel is a topical HRT that contains only a version of the hormone oestrogen as 750 micrograms of estradiol. Oestrogel is supplied as a gel that is applied to the skin which is a highly effective method of reducing menopausal symptoms leaving you feeling more comfortable so you can carry on enjoying life.

How to use Oestrogel
  • Oestrogel should not be applied to the breasts and face or any areas of irritated or broken skin. Recommended application areas are the outer arms and shoulders of both arms or the mid-inner thighs of both legs. You should rotate the application sites daily.
  • Use Oestrogel exactly as you have been prescribed by your doctor. One pump delivers 1 dose of Oestrogel. Read the Patient Information Leaflet before use.
  • If you still have an intact womb you should speak to your doctor before using Oestrogel as they will likely prescribe another HRT containing a form of the hormone progesterone.
Possible side effects

Oestrogel, like other HRT, can cause some people to experience some unwanted side effects. Most of these side effects will improve within the first 3 months of use. If they do not get better within this time you should speak to a doctor or pharmacist.

If you develop any severe side effects or an allergic reaction while using Oestrogel you should seek medical advice from your nearest emergency department as soon as possible.

The most commonly experienced side effects when using Oestrogel are:

  • Painful, heavy periods
  • Irregular bleeding
  • White or yellow vaginal discharge or yeast infections
  • Mood swings
  • Migraines
  • Vertigo or feelings of weakness
  • Wind
  • Acne
Warnings and precautions

Using any form of HRT treatment, including Oestrogel, heightens your risk of developing specific health conditions. If you have any questions or concerns you should discuss these with your GP or specialist.

What are the ingredients in Oestrogel?

The active ingredient in Oestrogel is 750 micrograms of Estradiol in each 1.25 gram pump.

The other ingredients are: Carbomer, triethanolamine, ethanol and purified water.

Do not use Oestrogel if you are allergic or sensitive to any of the ingredients.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about Oestrogel before you start.

Where do I apply Oestrogel?

Spread it thinly over clean, dry skin on the outer arms, shoulders or inner thighs. Do not apply it to the breasts or vaginal area. Let it dry for a few minutes before dressing.

Do I need to take progesterone as well?

If you still have your womb, you will need a progestogen such as Utrogestan alongside Oestrogel to protect the womb lining. Your clinician will advise you.

How long does it take to work?

Many women notice an improvement in hot flushes and night sweats within a few weeks, but it can take up to three months to feel the full benefit.

What if I miss a dose?

Apply it as soon as you remember, unless it is nearly time for your next dose. Do not use extra gel to make up for a missed dose.
