It contains a medication called estrogen (female sex hormone) that works by replacing estrogen that is normally produced by the body. Use Estogel in the exact way as instructed by your doctor or mentioned on the package insert. Do not apply in larger or smaller quantities than recommended. Even if your symptoms improve, you should continue the treatment as it has been prescribed. Do not stop using the medicine until the full course is completed.

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the gel. Wash your hands after applying unless hands are the affected area.

Use the applicator provided to insert a measured dose of gel into your vagina before going to bed. It may damage condoms and diaphragms and reduce their effectiveness. Use a non-hormonal method of contraception. It works locally in the vagina, therefore side effects are rare.
