Title: Oestraclin/ Oestrogel what is the difference and how much?
Post by: Sunny on April 14, 2022, 01:42:02 PM

Hello all,
I have been on two pumps of Oestrogel 750 microgrames and now in Spain for a year. Doctor has prescribed Oestraclin 0.6mg/ g gel. Are the two products exactly the same and how much do I now take of the Oestraclin. Did ask the doctor but didn’t really get an answer. Slightly confused and worried?

If any one can help I would really appreciate it.

Many Thanks

Hi Sunny, they're from different manufacturers but have the same formula, you can read the patient information leaflet in English here https://lab-seid.com/portfolio-item/oestraclin/?lang=en#toggle-id-4  Two pump measures are equivalent to 2.5 g gel/day, i.e., one spatula measure per day.

Thank you so much for the reply. I will take a look at the link now.
I am sorry, are you saying my 2 pumps of Oestrogel  are equivalent to one full measure of the Oestraclin?

I can’t thank you enough for the info.

Yes, that's what the PIL says. One spatula measure has 2.5g of Oestraclin, which is the same as 2 pumps of Oestrogel (each pump = 1.25 g). You're welcome!
