I have just checked my repeat prescription, and it says 'Oestrogel Pump Pack o.6% gel (Besins HealthcareUK Ltd).
The pump packs I had from Prof Studd's prescription were manufactured by Besins, but gave an address in Belgium stated on the box, and the pump packs themselves didn't have any relabelling, or stickers on them, or anything. Their ingrideints were listed as:
Active Ingredients
"Each metered dose (1.25g) contains 0.75mg estradiol 0.06% w/w
Other ingredients:
Carbomer
Ethanol
Triethanolamine
Purified water
Product Licence Holder:
Besins Healthcare, Brussels
I have checked the packaging of the Oestrodose pump pack, and it reads:
Active Ingredient:
estradiol 0.6% w/w
Each metered dose (1.25g) contains 0.75mg estradiol
Also includes:
Carbomer
ethanol
triethanolamine and purified water.
Manufactured by Besins, Belgium NV
Exploitant: Laboratories Besins International, Montrouge - France
Procured from within the EU and repackaged by Animed Direct Ltd, Hendon, London
Product Licence Holder:BR Lewis Pharmaceuticals, Doncaster
So, it looks like the same ingredients, but different licence holders. And, for some reason the 'exploitant' (which means farmer, manager in French) is in France.
