My pharmacy can no longer get estradot patches.

I'm keen to try the gel dispenser, but I need to know the actual name so I can request it from my GP.

Thanks.

Does it come in different strengths?

I don’t think so. Mine is 750 micro grams/pump. Dosage is altered by the number of pumps you use per day. Often prescribed as start with one, increase to two if needed. Some women use up to four, on doctor’s guidance.

Mine is called estrogen. Not being able to get patches turned out to be much better for me
No falling off, sticky marks or remembering to change the patch
Tablets and gel and more control. I can use more or less gel according to symptoms
