sandrena gel/estrogel
« on: March 22, 2018, 06:59:22 AM »

Hi! Just a quick question are the sandrena gel and the estrogel the same thing, do they contain the same ingredients?

Hi robotwars

"Same same but different"... The active ingredient - estradiol - is the same but Sandrena is more concentrated than Oestrogel so you need less gel for the same amount of oestrogen - maybe better for those who need to use a lot? , In addition they contain slightly different ingredients :

Sandrena: ingredients in additional to estradiol (1 mg per g)

Carbomer 974P
Trolamine
Propylene glycol
Ethanol 96 %
Water, purified

Apparently propylene glycol can cause skin irritation in some.

Estrogel ingredients in addition to estradiol (0.6 mg per g)

Ethanol
-Carbomer
-Triethanolamine
-Purified water
