Doseage equivalents
« on: May 08, 2019, 04:37:20 PM »

Evening all  :)
Ive been wondering about equivalent doses and I found this table through a previous thread....
http://surmeno.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/news

I previously thought that 4 pumps.of Estrogel was the equivalent doseage as a 100mg Estradot patch. On this table it says the estradiol delivered for 1 pump of Estrogel is approx 0.04 mg.
A 25mg patch delivers 0.025mg of estradiol so a 100mg patch would deliver 0.1mg

Am i right in thinking or is it just my menopause brain that a 100mg patch is more equivalent to 3 pumps of gel?

Am just wondering because 3 pumps of the gel wasnt enough for me and i'm currently using a 100mg patch and to put it bluntly, i feel as shitty as I did using the 3 pumps of gel. X

I think that's about right.

And two pumps of Estrogel would be the same as Elleste Solo 80mcg or Everol 75mcg.
