Title: Changing from Sandrena gel to Lenzetto
Post by: Sandie64 on July 08, 2022, 11:21:39 PM

Hi, I'm on 1.5mg of Sandrena gel at the moment but want to switch to Lenzetto spray as the Sandrena and Estrogel take ages to dry on me.
My gp has said that 1.5mg is the highest dose of Sandrena but that would equate to 5/6 spays of Lenzetto and the highest dose for that is 3 sprays. 
Whats the reasoning behind this, does Lenzetto absorb more easily and will I be able to get to my optimal dosage?
Would it be better to stay on Sandrena?
I've also tried patches but they don't stay on.

Morning Sandie, I believe when the Lenzetto first came out it was believed to be stronger that it actually is. A lot of women are in 3-5 sprays but you may have to go through a specialist or it may work for you using 3 sprays. Lenzetto maybe next on my list! Let us know how you get on xx

Lenzetto was a disaster for me. Even on 6 sprays a day it did nothing. I was put on it when there was no gel. I had been on 4 pumps.
Now on a patch and feel better than I have for years.

Have you tried rubbing the gel in rather than leave it to dry?  Lenzetto is weaker than first thought, I tried 8 sprays and had no improvement but there are ladies who love it. Trial and error.
