Overview Estogel
Estrogel, a bioidentical estrogen hormone, functions as hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to alleviate menopausal symptoms. This topical application addresses hot flashes, vaginal burning, dryness, and itching resulting from estrogen deficiency. Always adhere precisely to your doctor's instructions or the product leaflet regarding Estrogel application; avoid altering the prescribed dosage. Consistent use, even with symptom improvement, is crucial until the treatment course is finished. Common, typically transient side effects include headache, gas, and breast tenderness. Report any vaginal bleeding to your physician, who may suggest an alternative. Prior to commencing treatment, disclose any history of unexplained vaginal bleeding or blood clots (leg or lung). Regular check-ups to assess treatment efficacy are recommended. While generally not expected to interact with other medications, Estrogel is usually avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
