What dose of Menopause cream should I apply?
Short answer
Use Menopause cream only at the dose on your prescription label. The typical directions listed for this product are one click to the inner arm daily, but your prescribing physician may give different instructions. Do not assume the listed strength is the amount delivered in each click.
Your prescribing physician and pharmacy label determine your dose of Menopause cream. This page lists Bi-Est 2.5 mg / Progesterone 100 mg and typical directions of one click to the inner arm daily. Those details do not establish how much medicine each click delivers. Ask the pharmacist to confirm the amount per click and how to use your dispenser.
Do not add extra clicks, apply more often, or change your schedule on your own. A licensed physician in your state decides whether this treatment and dose are appropriate after reviewing your health history. Tell them if you have a uterus, unexplained vaginal bleeding, a history of blood clots, or a hormone-sensitive cancer.
If you have a uterus, ask specifically about protection of the uterine lining. Progesterone absorbed through the skin may not provide adequate protection from estrogen’s effects on that lining. This compounded medication is prepared by a licensed pharmacy for one patient and is not FDA-approved. Contact your prescriber if the label differs from the website.
