Well - survey is a bit of a grand name but thought I would start a separate thread to collate all the info!
I didn't want to clog up the other thread with all of this so please all Oestrodose users or Oestrogel users who also have Oestrodose please provide info about your CURRENT bottle of gel (past reports can't really be used unless you still have the bottle?)
The main thing for gel users (Oestrodose) to note is:
1 Are you peri or post-menopause or don't know?
2 Have you used both Oestrodose and oestrogel?
3 How long have you been using estradiol gel?
4 Have you noticed any difference between this product and any other bottles of Oestrodose or Oestrogel, if so what?
5 Where the product is manufactured (and the manufacturer - but assuming it will be Besins, Belgium?)
6 The name of the parallel importer/repackaging company (as in the leaflet and/or bottle or carton)
7 The batch number/date
8 Some basic info about the carton, leaflet and bottle
No need to write all of this out or write an essay – just write the numbers and your answers and try to keep it just to responses to the above so easy to collate? – fire away! Let's see what comes out of this :)

Hello Ladybt28,
Thank you! There's no need to post details of the leaflet, this one is available at the MHRA website, the parallel import company is S&M Medical Chemilines (now known as Chemilines), Wembley.

Well this one didn't go anywhere but every time the subject has come up we have urged members to report through the yellow card scheme which continues to be recommended!
