Yes it has been talked about it.
If you have a look at Hurdities past posts I think she has done some research on this and has discovered it is definitely being discontinued.

her posts mention a pessary being stopped not a gel

[ellie66]

Phew not the same thing. I will ring Rex my local pharmacist on Monday and get him to double check.

Hi - yes I was referring to Orthgynest pessaries - local oestrogen for vaginal atrophy etc. I haven't heard about oestrogel but I would have thought this is unlikely as it is widely used outside UK as well? However as lancashirelass mentioned Sandrena does the same job and is the same type of oestrogen I understand, although at a different concentration ( I haven't tried either!)

I've had an email from the manufacturer it isn't being stopped
