Title: Switch from Oestrogel to Lenzetto
Post by: Feebs on April 05, 2022, 11:06:07 AM

Hi Everyone, I’m finally feeling as though my 4 pumps of Oestrogel are helping with my symptoms but due to the shortage have been prescribed Lenzetto 3 sprays which my doctor said was an equivalent dose. However after googling I’m not sure this is correct and I’m terrified of going back to square one. I would appreciate any insights/experiences.

You are correct. For four pumps of gel you will need 6 sprays of Lenzetto. It might be worth you just phoning round a load of pharmacies, I did that this morning and managed to find some stocks of oestrogel a 45 minute drive away.

Thought so-thanks Gnatty, 6 sprays would be difficult on my skinny inner arms!! I will start ringing round to try to get oestrogel instead-I really don’t want to change anyway!
