Title: Oestradiol and utrogestan
Post by: KarineT on May 28, 2020, 09:49:57 PM

Are Estradiol and Utrogestan body identical?  Are they available on the NHS and if so are they the price of an NHS prescription?  How long does a supply last?

Hi Oestrogel or oestrogen patches and Utrogestan are body identical.
They re both available on NHS.
You will pay NHS prescription for both....so 2 charges. I get 3 months at a time on one prescription. Some ladies only get 1 month.

One packet of Utrogetsan will last for one month.  Oestrogen....depends how many pumps you use per day.   I use 4 pumps per day so a bottle / pump pack last me 2 weeks. x
