Title: Unable to get Estrogel
Post by: roo on June 01, 2018, 04:05:41 PM

Hi ladies. I have been trying for the last two weeks to get my prescription for Estrogel made up. My regular pharmacy says that he has been unable to order any from ‘anywhere'. He did seem to think that it would be available eventually but didn't know when. I have been to three other pharmacies and they all say the same. The only thing they can give me is Oestrodose (even though my prescription says Besins Healthcare Estrogel) which is nowhere near as good. I wonder if it is because of the cost? Has anybody got any ideas how I can get hold of it. It really has given me my life back. Can I purchase it myself with a prescription?

Any advice would be gratefully received.

Have a look at this recent thread about the shortage.
