Hi all, apologies, I'm sure this information is out here somewhere.

I'm cu4 on holiday in Spain, and I lost my hrt (I know, I know). Anyway, I went to a farmacia and have managed to get some progesterone ( same as utrogetsan), and some lenzetto. I couldn't find any patches ( my usual prescription).

Soo, my question is, how many sprays do I need to equal. a 100 everol patch please?

I just could face going cold turkey for the duration

Many thanks

I use Lenzetto but I moved from Oestrogel so cant speak about Everol equivalent. However, whilst youre waiting to see if anyone with experience comes along I have found the following info from BMS:

"If taking Evorel 100: Oestrogel 4 measures a day  would give an equivalent."

I was using 3.5 pumps of gel and swapped to 3 sprays of Lenzetto. I think 3 sprays is the highest licensed dose so, in your position, I'd go for 3 sprays until you get hold of your usual patches.

Hopefully someone with experience/knowledge will come along soon!

Enjoy your holiday

Page 4 of the BMS HRT equivalent preparations sheet says that 3 sprays of Lenzetto is equivalent to a 50mcg oestrogen patch. As Suziemc says, anything more than this is above the licenced dose but as you have the product, I guess you are at liberty to use what you feel you need, for what I assume will only be for a short period until you get home again.

Oh boy....I was in the same document and didn't bother reading further down the section  Im glad someone else is more awake than me

Suziemc - to be fair to yourself, it's kind of hidden in the Sandrena equivalent section! 
Having previously used Lenzetto unsuccessfully, I knew Lenzetto wasn't a high oestrogen product at the licenced dose but needed to check the equivalence.

Thank you for all your replies. I ended up using 12 sprays! I am on a high patch dose (250), so that was still less than my usual level.

I did have a mini panic last night that it would be way too much, and I'd poisoned myself but I don't feel any different today.

It's only for another day or so, as I'll be back from holidays then.

I am a super low absorber it seems
