Common questions
Do I need a prescription for Estradiol gel?
Yes. Estradiol gel is a compounded, prescription-only preparation. It is dispensed only against a valid Swiss Medica prescription written for you by name, which follows a consultation.
Is Estradiol gel a registered medicine?
No. It is compounded for an individual patient by a SAHPRA-licensed South African pharmacy and is not a SAHPRA-registered medicine. Your doctor will explain the evidence, and its limits, before prescribing.
