Hello again,
Just to be clear... I never said Oestrodose is manufactured in the Philippines. I said that Oestrodose, as a brand name, is only available in France and the Philippines. I don't know how can you be so sure that parallel importers buy all Oestrodose from France. After all, if both are manufactered at the same plant (Drogenbos), it doesn't matter if they are imported from France or the Philippines.
Regarding the brand names, it's quite common to have the same product with different names around the world, it's just about international trademark registrations.
What I REALLY don't understand is why Besins UK can't provide Oestrogel for the whole UK market.

P.S. Oestrodose is also marketed in Tunisia and Lebanon by Besins.
