Oestrogel to Evorel 25 equivalence?
« on: June 01, 2018, 09:16:54 PM »

Hi there,

Can anyone advise? I tried to get onto oestrogel to no avail. I only tried one pump but had bad side effects. So now been advised to try Evorel 25 to see if I can get on to that (seeing that it delivers less of a 'hit' all at once).

If I do manage to tolerate a patch, what dose of patch will be the equivalent of 3 pumps? As that's what Prof Studd has prescribed for me.

I can't work it out. One pump of Oestrogel delivers 0.75mg. Evorel 25 delivers 25 micrograms (is that 0.025mg)? Then how many patches will I need to put on to reach 3 pumps of oestrogel??!!

If anyone can enlighten me, I'd be most grateful!

Sorry you haven't had a reply, flaxhigh!

A 0.25mcg patch is roughly equivalent to 1 pump of gel. So you can work it out from there! So if you want the equivalent of 3 pumps, you'd be looking at a 75mcg patch. Hope this helps! xxxx
