Estrogel 750mcg/actuation Gel (80g) Estradiol

Estrogel 750mcg gel contains estradiol, a hormone used to relieve moderate to severe symptoms of vaginal atrophy caused by menopause. It is applied topically and is available without a prescription in Nigeria.

What it is

Estrodiol is a form of oestrogen hormone (oestrogen therapy) used to replace the declining oestrogen levels during menopause.

What it's used for

Estrogel is used to treat moderate to severe symptoms of vulvar and vaginal atrophy (thinning and drying of the vaginal walls) that occur due to menopause.

Common side effects

Possible side effects include abnormal uterine bleeding or spotting, pelvic pain, vaginal yeast infections, changes in cervical secretions, and application site reactions. Systemic absorption may occur, so the same side effects as oral oestrogen therapy may happen.

Important cautions

Do not use if you have undiagnosed abnormal genital bleeding, known or suspected breast cancer, oestrogen-dependent tumours, active or past blood clots (DVT, PE), stroke, or heart attack. Tell your doctor if you have a history of any of these conditions. Seek medical help if you experience signs of an allergic reaction (e.g., swelling of the face, tongue, or throat).
