User Reviews for EstroGel transdermal

this gel let us know i needed more estrogen however, it does not last 24 hours. this causes a roller coaster effect. glad I do not have to use this on a regular basis

This is a very low dose treatment of bioidentical estrogen. The pump contains 30 pumps per month which gives about 30 pg/ml in the bloodstream if you do 1 pump a day. In the UK the dosage is 2-4 pumps per day. Here in the USA, it is usually written for 1 pump on the arm once a day. Very expensive ($100 a container) and very weak. If you have only mild hot flashes this may be enough for you. I find that it does not last 24 hours.

Estrogel has worked very well for me. The hot flashes, vaginal dryness and overall moodiness have improved greatly. The only adverse symptom I've felt is a slight itching on my arm when applied but that goes away within the hour.

I was born with no ovaries so need HRT. I have been on Estrogel for at least 15 years (with prometrium). I am only now experiencing some irregular bleeding. After many HRT Therapies this is excellent! Re the comment concerning HRT containing horse urine - true for premarin but Estrogel is Estrodial, a natural ingredient, so doesn't apply.

Do NOT use synthetic estrogens. It is very bad for your health...just look around the www. Did you know it is actually made of horse urine?! Use plant-derived estrogens...its also more natural for you.

My DR thought this may help my sex drive. It hasn't done anything for that. Using this as directed, I have developed large brown spots on my arms and thighs. They look like age or liver spots! Its very ugly! I am going to ask my dr to change my Rx or I will stop using this.

heart racing and higher blood pressure

I have used estrogel together w/estroven (OTC)since my complete hystorectomy at the age of 33. Together they work very well controlling the night sweats and mood swings. The Hot Flashes although mild most of the time, do not go away! Without this medication the Hot Flashes and Night Sweats were simply unbearable.

I use half a dose daily and have been very satisfied with the results as far as preventing vaginal dryness and hot flashes.

This medication worked for my menopausal symptoms. Unfortunately, for the first time in my life I have developed a deep vein blood clot in my left calf. So yes it does work. But only if you are willing to risk the serious side effects.
