There is currently a national shortage of Oestrogel. There is only one other alternative Oestrogen gel HRT in the UK – Sandrena
Please see this table for the equivalent dosage of Sandrena. Technically, the higher doses exceed the UK licence for Sandrena gel, however there is no safety concern with exceeding the dose as per the licence as this amount of Oestrogen remains in the licence for Oestrogel.
