Change of packaging

[Frostytiger87]

Hi , has anyone noticed a change of packaging for Estrogel it’s now Oestrogen

Besin claim that the ingredients are the same but Some women are claiming that their symptoms are returning since the change of labelling & are increasing the dosage

I’ve attached photos left box was what I started on and the right hand photo is what I picked up from the chemist last week
Any thoughts ?

I am the exact opposite of you. I switched from the patches to the pump gel & I have had the best 10 nights sleeps in a row, for 20 years, plus no night sweats or hot flushes! I am a little aggressive though? But I'm putting that down to my confidence returning & not putting up with shit LOL

I have been using this product for over 4 years and the packaging and labelling has changed a few times but the product has always done the job until about 4 months ago . I noticed my symptoms coming back and had sudden weight gain. I believe there may be some irregularity with the production . This happens from time to time with any product and happened with a generic brand of levothyroxine which they pulled from the market for a few months. Its best to report any change in your symptoms to the yellow card scheme .

Funny, I am also on these 2 products & I have noticed I am getting hot flushes again, & aching joints. I think so many of us are on HRT nowadays, after positive media reports, that they are finding it hard to keep up with demand.

Has anyone noticed any difference using the estrogel? Noticed that the packaging is different to my old estrogel and my symptoms have started to return, noticeably itchy skin, hot flushing, moody, excessive dry skin etc

My packaging has also changed, not used the new one yet, but I will update if I find changes when I do.

Hello 🙋‍♀️Sadly agree, been on the new packaging & have had terrible breast tenderness & swelling daily hence I’ve googled “any difference between new & old packaging” I’m gutted…..was given oestrodose & immediately breast pain & thrush. Managed to get hold of 1 pack of old bottle & now given “ new packaging “ and feeling not right again 😭😭😭
