applying oestragel
« on: December 22, 2022, 08:51:29 AM »

im on 4 pumps of oestragel which i apply in the morning. i dont want to split the dose as i would find it too energizing at night.

ive been applying one pump per limb
 so 1 each on my inner thigh and one each to my arms. leaflet says to put 2 pumps on per limb so 2 each to inner thighs or two each to arms.

however i was watching a balance menopause video where the lady says to apply 2 each per thighs or arms may affect absorption.

i just wondered what otbers do who are on higher doses of gel.

thanks for your reading

I could get 1.5 on each thigh but no more than 1 on each arm/shoulder. It's too cold for bare shoulders so I used 2 night and morning on thighs. It's a while since I read the PIL but isn't it 1pump per limb?
