ESTROGEL - Canada Product Information
Estrogel is a gel that contains a form of estrogen called 17β-estradiol. It's used to relieve symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes, disturbed sleep, and vaginal dryness.
HOW DOES ESTROGEL WORK?
Estrogel replaces the estrogen your body stops making during menopause. It helps reduce menopausal symptoms like feelings of warmth in the face, neck, and chest, sudden intense heat and sweating, trouble sleeping, and vaginal dryness.
DO NOT USE ESTROGEL IF YOU:
- Are allergic to estradiol or any ingredients in the gel
- Have liver problems
- Have or had breast cancer or other estrogen-dependent cancers
- Have unexplained vaginal bleeding
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have had a heart attack, stroke, or blood clots
HOW TO USE ESTROGEL
- Application Area: Apply the gel to clean, dry, and unbroken skin on the arm or thigh. Do not apply it to your breasts, face, or irritated skin.
- Dose: Press the pump firmly to release the gel. Apply 2.5 grams (two pumps) once daily, from day 1 to day 25 of each month or as directed by your doctor.
- Instructions: Spread the gel over a large area of skin and let it dry for 2 minutes before dressing.
MISSED DOSE
If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember. If it's almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose. Do not double the dose.
POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS
Common side effects include:
- Breast tenderness
- Headache
- Nausea
- Vaginal spotting or bleeding
If you experience any severe side effects such as signs of a blood clot (sudden chest pain, shortness of breath, leg pain), contact your doctor immediately.
