  Benefits and Use of Estrogel

  Estradiol gel is a synthetic female hormone and is absorbed through the skin and enters the bloodstream. It is used by women to help reduce vaginal symptoms such as burning, itching or vaginal dryness. Estrogel helps in reduction of menopause symptoms.

  When treating only vaginal symptoms using Estrogel, it is better to apply products directly inside the vagina or around it as estrogen taken orally may get absorbed through the skin and increase the risk of side effects due to more estrogen being absorbed.

  You can buy Estrogel from Canada Pharmacy. Make sure to use Estrogel coupons to enjoy great discounts.

  Directions

  Once you are prescribed and buy Estradiol gel, the gel is applied to clean and dry skin on the upper thigh area or as directed by your physician. It is usually applied once daily. You can switch between the left and right thigh with each application.

  Do not apply this gel to the breast or face or in or around the vagina.

  Avoid applying Estrogel to the broken or irritated skin.

  Do not allow others to help you apply this medication.
