Oestrogel in this leaflet.
Oestrogel is a Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). It contains the female hormone oestrogen.
Oestrogel is used in postmenopausal women.

Relief of symptoms occurring after menopause
During the menopause, the amount of the oestrogen produced by a woman’s body drops. This can
cause symptoms such as hot face, neck and chest (“hot flushes”). Oestrogel alleviates these symptoms
after menopause. You will only be prescribed Oestrogel if your symptoms seriously hinder your daily
life.
Prevention of osteoporosis
After the menopause some women may develop fragile bones (osteoporosis). You should discuss all
available options with your doctor. If you are at an increased risk of fractures due to osteoporosis and
other medicines are not suitable for you, you can use Oestrogel to prevent osteoporosis after
menopause. PIL https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/files/pil.353.pdf
