Ovestin/Estriol - Change in name and huge change in price!
« on: July 29, 2024, 01:52:38 PM »

Shocked how much it is to buy Estriol cream since the name change from Ovestin with prices ranging from the cheapest online at over £20 which is great but mostly now a whopping £55 from Superdrug and other online pharmacies.

Yes, so do I but I am more concerned about the huge hike in price and the reason for it.

I've written an email to Superdrug asking for an explanation on the huge increase and if the cost will be reduced in the future.
As of writing I am still waiting for a reply.

If I wanted to take charge of my own GSM/VA treatment the cost of £55 per tube is now completely prohibitive for me.

I think superdrug ars a bit dirty in their pricing. If you're female they charge you  several times more than men for the same testosterone product.

Not just Superdrug other pharmacies are also selling at this price. Old stocks of Ovestin are still available to buy for over £20.
I am still trying to find out why the huge price hike!
