Title: Switch from lenzetto to oestrogel
Post by: Sassypurple on August 23, 2022, 07:37:47 PM

Hi, I have been prescribed oestrogel because couldn't get hold of lenzetto. Has anyone else had to do this and did they feel any different I am worried. I was on 3 sprays of lenzetto and now the doctor has just said 3 pumps of gel.
Thanks Sarah

Sassypurple - I recently swopped from Lenzetto to Oestrogel . Just to say I personally found that Oestrogel is quite a lot stronger than Lenzetto so you may possibly need to reduce the dose a bit but see how you go.  Hope so much it works well for you xx

Thanks that is helpful to know. I have been feeling a little dizzy today so maybe that is why x

I never tried lenzetto, however I did move from patches to gel one time, and had no issues.
I am back on patches, just personal preference, nothing wrong with gel.
Hope that helps.
