Sandrena Gel

Sandrena Gel allows Oestrogen to soak into the body, which helps rebalance the hormones in the body, which in turn reduces the negative symptoms of menopause, including night sweats, vaginal dryness and mood swings. Sandrena Gel is one of the most widely used treatments used by women post menopause, as it can reduce the mental and physical stress of managing menopause symptoms. Many women opt to take HRT as menopause can greatly impact their daily lives.

Sandrena Gel is prescribed to women who are in post menopause and menopause only. Typically, this medication is only prescribed to women who have not experienced a period for longer than 12 months, but this can vary depending on the prescribers’ assessment. You will need a prescription to buy Sandrena Gel online through e-Surgery or at any high-street pharmacy. If you use Sandrena Gel when you aren’t going through menopause could cause serious harm to your health and wellbeing.

For women who have periods, menopause is a normal process that causes your body to begin stopping your periods because of lowered hormone levels. Menopause is typically experienced by women who have reached the end of their reproductive cycle, but it can also occur as a consequence of surgery or cancer treatments like chemotherapy. Perimenopause, which is typically a sign of approaching menopause, is the state in which you experience menopause-like symptoms without having stopped having periods.

Although there are no known side effects associated with consuming alcohol while using Sandrena gel, it is generally not recommended. Alcohol can have harmful effects on the body and its capacity to process medications, potentially diminishing the efficacy of Tibolone Tablets. This could exacerbate menopausal symptoms. It is advisable to discuss your concerns about alcohol consumption with your prescriber.

The key active substance in Sandrena Gel is estradiol, a form of the female hormone oestrogen. The sachets also contain the ingredients propylene glycol, carbomer, trolamine and purified water.

The estradiol delivered a measured dose of oestrogen through the skin to relieve menopausual symptoms.

The main difference between the 0.5mg and 1mg Sandrena Gel sachets is the dosage of oestrogen they contain. The 0.5mg sachets have a lower amount of oestrogen, while the 1mg sachets contain a higher amount.

Your doctor or pharmacist may prescribe the lower 0.5mg dose for women who are just starting hormone replacement therapy or are more sensitive to hormones. The higher 1mg dose provides more oestrogen and may be better for relieving moderate to severe menopause symptoms. But the exact dose will depend on each woman’s individual needs.

If you miss a dose, apply the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and take your next dose as usual. You should not apply extra gel to make up for a missed dose.

Sandrena Gel can cause some weight gain in some women. This is because the oestrogen in the gel can increase appetite and lead to fluid retention. However, weight gain is usually modest. By maintaining a healthy diet and staying active, you can help minimise any potential weight changes.

Although Sandrena Gel is not specifically meant for weight loss, some women do find they lose a little bit of weight while using Sandrena Gel since restoring hormone balance can help regulate metabolism and appetite. However, significant weight loss would not be expected.

It may take a couple of weeks of consistent use for you to notice the full effects of Sandrena Gel, but some symptoms like hot flushes may start improving sooner. However, the gel needs time to have its full effect, so it’s important to be patient and keep using it as directed.

It’s recommended that you get your hormone levels tested three months after first starting Sandrena Gel, and then once a year after that. This is to make sure the gel is maintaining your oestrogen levels in the ideal range—not too high or too low. This helps ensure proper treatment and prevent any long-term issues.

If you suffer from any worsening symptoms in between testing, you should let your doctor know.

Yes! Sandrena Gel may help provide anxiety relief for some women during menopause. By replacing oestrogen with the Sandrena Gel, it can restore hormone balance and normalise mood.

However, the gel may not resolve anxiety relief on its own. Lifestyle changes like stress reduction techniques, exercise, or therapy may be needed as well. You should discuss all anxiety treatment options with your doctor.
