Title: Oestrogel needed urgently any update on supply?
Post by: MenPause010 on June 26, 2022, 10:31:47 AM

I see there are a number of posts here about Oestrogel arriving 'soon' - has been for a few 'months' now. Does anyone know where I can get it or when Boots expect to have stock? I'd pay privately if I could. I'm trying to have slightly less in my dose as I don't want any alternative. Is anyone having any luck getting their prescription? I have about 10 days left at most then I don't know what to do..

I think it's July that it's supposed to all be okay again. Or maybe that was the Estrodot patches.

Besins have just bought a massive factory in Belgium to make more gel, so they are hugely increasing supply.

When did you check with your local Pharmacist, I assume that your GP is aware?

I have managed to get supplies by spending half an hour on the phone each time ringing round pharmacies. I usually strike lucky within that time frame. I have sometimes had to drive 30 miles!
