Women taking transdermal oestradiol only HRT in the form of (25/50/75/100) patches and do not require taking progestogen (women who had a hysterectomy) can consider:

  • Evorel (25/50/75/100)
  • Estradot patches (25/50/75/100)
  • Estradem patches (25/50/75/100)
  • Femseven mono (50/75/100)
  • Progynova TS (50/100)

  • For a dose of 25 can use half a patch of 50. For a dose of 75 can use 3/4 of a patch of 100.
  • Alternatively, could take a gel preparation such as Oestrogel or Sandrena:
    • Oestrogel:
      • If taking Evorel 25: Oestrogel one measure a day would give an equivalent
      • If taking Evorel 50: Oestrogel one measure twice a day would give an equivalent
      • If taking Evorel 75: Oestrogel three measures a day (2am and 1pm or vice versa) would give an equivalent
      • If taking Evorel 100: Oestrogel 4 measures a day (2am and 2pm) would give an equivalent
    • Or Sandrena gel:
      • If taking Evorel 25: 0.5mg Sandrena sachet a day would give an equivalent
      • If taking Evorel 50: 1mg Sandrena sachet a day would give an equivalent
      • Or Lenzetto three sprays (40 mcgm) equivalent to two measures of Oestrogel or 50 microgram patch
