EstroGel manages your hot flashes; night sweats; and vaginal dryness, itching, and burning with a low dose of estrogen.1

Managing your menopause symptoms no longer means standing in front of a fan; swallowing pills; dealing with patches, which may be sticky; or applying lotions and creams, which may be messy.

EstroGel is an FDA-approved, bio-identical estrogen therapy (ET) gel, which means the estrogen in EstroGel is similar to the estrogen your body produces naturally.1,2 Maybe that’s why EstroGel is the #1 prescribed estrogen product in Europe and the #1 prescribed transdermal estrogen product in Canada.3

Talk with your healthcare provider today about estrogen therapy and if a prescription for EstroGel is right for you.
 

WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT INFORMATION I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT EstroGel (AN ESTROGEN HORMONE)?

Estrogens increase the chance of getting cancer of the uterus (womb). Report any unusual vaginal bleeding right away while you are using EstroGel. Vaginal bleeding after menopause may be a warning sign of cancer of the uterus (womb). Your healthcare provider should check any unusual vaginal bleeding to find the cause.

Do not use estrogens with or without progestins to prevent heart disease, heart attacks, strokes, or dementia. Using estrogens with or without progestins may increase your chance of getting heart attacks, strokes, breast cancer, and blood clots.

Using estrogens, with or without progestins, may increase your risk of dementia, based on a study of women age 65 or older.

Do not start using EstroGel if you have unusual vaginal bleeding, currently have or have had certain cancers, had a stroke or heart attack in the past year, currently have or have had blood clots, currently have or have had liver problems, are allergic to EstroGel or any of its ingredients, or think you may be pregnant.

Common side effects of estrogens include headache, breast pain, irregular vaginal bleeding or spotting, stomach/abdominal cramps, bloating, nausea, vomiting, hair loss, fluid retention, and vaginal yeast infection.

You and your healthcare provider should talk regularly about whether you still need treatment with EstroGel.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
