Anyone tried or currently using lenzetto spray?
« on: January 12, 2021, 04:15:23 PM »

Hi ladies!
I have tried oestrogel and the estrodot patch but cannot feel a difference as yet, was considering trying lenzetto spray, I was wondering if anybody has had good results from using this? Xx

Yes, I am currently using it, I am 5 or so week into the change over from Estraderm patches. I had previously also tried Evorel, Oestrogel, and Evorel Conti.

I am noticing some fab differences so far, much more consistent dosing (i was losing patches through them peeling off, left, right and centre!)

I am also having none of the breathlessness I was getting, I am still unsure whether that was a side-effect or whether it was a lack of oestrogen causing it, but either way, it has gone. My palpitations are now few and far between too (a main sign for me that it was inconsistent previously).

I would say it took a good 3 weeks for it to settle, and I started on 2 sprays a day, but i now use 3 and that seems to suit me.

The spray takes up a really small space on your forearm, and dries super-quick (less than 30s to 1min)

I’m using Lenzetto spray, it seems to be making some difference after 6 weeks but it does take me months to see any major improvements, I get much worse before better, now getting some good days, still not sleeping though.  Give it a try. It may just be that the dose isn’t high enough on your current one or that it takes more time.

I’ve just done a search for Lenzetto threads  :)

I’m about to give it a go instead of using Estradot patches. A fabulous GP spent ages talking to me today and suggested trying this spray, as I am needing to increase the Estradot dose I currently use.
It’s for a 6-8 week trial then we will review to see which option is suiting me best.

I’d love to hear how others are getting on.

I trialled Lenzetto a few years ago and I really liked it.  I found it very user friendly and it dries in seconds.   However, after a while, my symptoms returned and I decided to go back to Oestrogel but I'm now very, very post menopause and I can easily tolerate a lower dose of oestrogen so I have decided to give Lenzetto another try.   

I ordered some last week and will be starting it again soon.  Hopefully it will work but I have nothing to lose if it doesn't!

It's definitely not suitable for women who need to achieve very high levels of oestrogen, it's really aimed at those who are post menopause.

I wrote to the manufacturers and they said it provides a stable dose at lowish levels.  With three pumps every day you could hope to achieve about 300 pmol.

Worth a try I would say.

Thank you Mary G.

It really will be a trial to see if I can get a high enough level of Oestrogen. I will be on 3 sprays after a week of using 2.
I do have a history of absorption issues so I’m not sure how I’ll get on. I’ve been on 200 mcg of Estradot for just over three years and my recent blood test was 205 pmol, along with having symptoms of low Oestrogen. I have added another third of a patch the last couple of weeks, which has helped.
The lovely GP I spoke to is a Menopause Specialist, so I’ve decided to try the spray for 6-8 weeks.

I hope you get on ok- I’d be interested to hear how it goes.  :)

I'm still using it with success.....no issues at all, and can monitor dosage depending on symptoms, as I can tell when I am low as I start getting fluttery palpitations, so generally 1 spray morning and night keeps me in check, but I have the option of 3 if I need it.

So good to hear you’re still doing well  :)

I’ve picked my supply up from the Pharmacy this afternoon. Perhaps you can help me with a query I’m left with after reading the leaflet.
It says use the forearm and I will be using 3 sprays, so the whole of the forearm. It also says have no contact with children, so clothing needs to be worn. I’m left wondering how you can care for a baby/child in the hotter weather when you won’t be wearing sleeves. It didn’t say no contact for an hour after application so it sounds like it’s all the time. If that is the case then I will have to use my inner thigh.

What’s your understanding? Am I just being ‘foggy headed’ and not understanding it  ;D

Hmm, well I tend to apply it and leave uncovered for 2 mins, then cover with top etc. I rotate areas and arms, so i reckon you have a good 4 spaces on each inner forearm, so i would just rotate them around.

I understood 'no contact' to be for the first hour or so.....but i'm not sure if I have just dreamed that now....I will have a look round for more info.

Good Luck, I hope it works for you!

Thanks PMDD, I’d appreciate that.

It would make better sense if it was just an hour, but I didn’t think it said that in the section about children, which has confused me. Just said cover with clothing after leaving it to dry for two minutes. I hardly ever have long sleeves on!

I’m considering applying it at night to make it a safer option.

I’ve just switched to Lenzetto, I was previously on the estradot 25 my reason for swapping is the awful bloating that I thought may be due to the estradot, I’m hoping the spray will help with insomnia, joint pain especially hips and hands, tinnitus, dizziness etc! I’ve been on 1 spray for 3 weeks and I feel I may have a little more energy, I’m going to increase to 2 sprays after 4 weeks and see how I get on. My Mum has severe osteoporosis so I’m on a mission to protect my bones, heart etc with estrogen!

So far no awful side effects so fingers crossed, I saw online one pump equated to roughly a pump and a half of the gell :)

It’s encouraging to read your posts I’m feeling hopeful xxx

Good to hear you’re feeling positive Smitten.

I’ve been on it a week using 2 sprays and I can feel it working better then the patches I was using. I was to increase to 3 sprays this week, but I think I’ll leave it longer and see how I feel.

It’s always a relief when something works  :D

I'm using it.  I don't think it's strong enough for me.  I'm on 4 sprays a day.  I'm either going to need 5 or 6 or a patch/spray combo I think.

I just wanted to say that I don't think 6-8 weeks will be long enough for you to trial it.  You will feel some changes by then, but I'd suggest your trail for 12 weeks.

My own experience is that it's nothing like a pump and a half of gel.  It's weaker.  You were on a very low dose patch.  I'd say aim for 2-3 sprays a day and see how it goes for you.  I'm on 4 and need to go up to 5 now.  Possibly 6.  Review next week to see what Dr Newson says.  I have way too many symptoms on 4 sprays a day.
