Title: sandrena v oestrogel
Post by: lancashirelass on July 11, 2013, 11:59:54 AM

Help!

I have been using 2-3 pumps of oestrogel but my gynae has asked to swap me to Sandrena so I have less gel to rub in and also its easier for me to travel with.  My gp has only put as directed on the box and has only given me the 0.5 version which means by my calculations I would need 3 sachets?

Can anyone help

Hi

Looking at the list on the left then yes you need 3 sachets to make 1.5mg never seen gel so don't know how much that looks like.  How many sachets have you been given?  Sb

Looks like a trip back to the surgery, do you have a copy of your clinic letter? Does it specify the dose? Sorry not much help.
