Dear menopause patients,
I am really sorry there are supply issues with some of the transdermal products specifically oestrogel and now sandrena
The alternative non oral oestrogen comes in patch form, one squirt of oestogel is equivalent to a 25 mcg patch
Most patches last 3-4 days, they include evorel, estradot, generic etradiol, all of which come in 25-100mcg strengths.
You would continue to use your usual progestogen as prescribed (utrogestan usually)

Best wishes
Dr Jane Woyka
