Oestrogel Gel (Estradiol 0.06%)
Oestrogel Gel (Estradiol 0.06%) is a hormone replacement therapy (HRT) treatment designed to relieve symptoms of oestrogen deficiency during perimenopause and menopause. Delivered as a smooth, fast-absorbing transdermal gel, it provides a consistent dose of bioidentical estradiol—the same form of oestrogen produced naturally by the body. This allows for effective symptom relief with fewer fluctuations compared to oral alternatives.
The gel is applied directly to the skin, where it is absorbed into the bloodstream, avoiding first-pass metabolism through the liver. This transdermal method offers a gentler, more controlled release of oestrogen, making it an excellent option for women who experience side effects from oral HRT or require a more flexible dosing system. The clear, fragrance-free formula dries quickly and is easy to incorporate into daily routines.
Oestrogel is commonly prescribed to help alleviate a wide range of menopausal symptoms, including hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. By restoring oestrogen levels, it helps improve overall wellbeing, sleep quality, and comfort, enabling women to manage hormonal transitions more effectively. It is also widely used to support bone health by reducing the rate of bone density loss associated with menopause.
For women who still have a uterus, Oestrogel is typically prescribed alongside a progesterone such as Utrogestan to protect the endometrium. This combined approach ensures safe and balanced hormone therapy, reducing the risk of endometrial thickening while maintaining the benefits of estrogen supplementation. Treatment plans can be tailored to individual needs, with dosage adjustments made easily thanks to the flexible gel format.
Manufactured to high pharmaceutical standards, Oestrogel offers a reliable, high-quality hormone therapy option suitable for long-term use under medical supervision. Its convenient application method, consistent absorption profile, and bioidentical formulation make it a trusted choice among healthcare professionals and patients alike. Whether used to manage early menopausal symptoms, long-term deficiency, or part of a personalised HRT plan, Oestrogel provides gentle yet effective hormonal support.
