Title: Strength of Sandrina?
Post by: Graciemouse on February 05, 2020, 11:49:07 AM

Hello
I've been using one pump of Oestrogel which it says on the bottle is 0.75mg of estradiol per pump.
I've just been given Sandrena (because I'm going on holiday next week and the sachets are more convenient for just hand luggage)
Each sachet says 0.5mg of estradiol. The consultant says that Sandrina is more concentrated so the 0.5mg sachet dose will be virtually the same as a pump of the Oestrogel - does that sound about right?
Thanks x

Yes, that sounds about right to me.
