Just been prescribed the above - its a gel that comes in a tiny little tube / sachet thing, the brand name is Sandrena.

Anyone else using it?

Of all the threads in this topic I can't find any that mention this specific oestrogen gel, was expecting something in a pump!

Your gp has clearly put Sandrena on the prescription. If you prefer the pump bottle of estrogen gel, you will need to ask your dr for it.
The gel in a bottle is called Estrogel.

They are slightly different only in that with the bottle you can press out half a pump if you want to fiddle with the dose, rather than opening and storing an opened sachet.

I have never used sandrena but some women who have say it's stickier and takes longer to dry.

My prescription is one sachet each morning so no problems there.

First one used this morning so fingers crossed!!
