Title: Equivalent dose?
Post by: Vicky81 on June 16, 2022, 01:43:02 PM

Hi all

My friend at work was asking what the equivalent dose is in tablet oestrogen 1mg and 2mg compared to gel and patches?

(she is on Femoston 1/10)

Thanks all xxxx

Hi there Vicky - equivalance can only be approximate since the amount women absorb may vary with the different delivery methods and also won't be the same of each woman. On this website the doses are given as low medium and high so that's the best comparison really. BMS I think are more specific.

Here are the oestrogen doses for tablet patch and gel:
