Title: Oestrogel
Post by: Pauline b on November 07, 2023, 06:04:07 PM

I am changing over to the gel from EStradot 75.  My GP hasn't told me how many pumps to use but it says on the bottle each pump is 750 micrograms  and the patch is 75 microgramms how many pumps am I supposed to use?

I think one pump = 25mcg
 Hopefully someone else will come on here and confirm!

Hi a 75 patch is roughly equivalent to 3 pumps of gel.
