How Divigel 1mg works

This medication is a female hormone (estrogen). It is absorbed through the skin and enters into the bloodstream. It is used by women to help reduce a certain symptom of menopause (hot flashes). Symptoms of menopause are caused by the body making less estrogen. If you are using estrogens to treat only vaginal symptoms of menopause (such as vaginal dryness/burning/itching), products applied directly inside the vagina should be considered before medications that are taken by mouth, absorbed through the skin, or injected.

How to use Divigel 1mg Estradiol

Apply the medication to clean, dry skin on the upper thigh area as directed by your doctor, usually once daily. Switch between the right and left thigh with each application. Avoid applying this medication to broken, irritated skin. Do not apply this medication to the breast, face, or in or around the vagina. Do not let others apply this medication to your body.

The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Do not increase your dose or use this medication more often than prescribed.

After applying this medication, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water to reduce the risk of accidentally spreading it from your hands to other people. Wait a few minutes for the application site to dry completely before dressing. Cover the application site with clothing (such as shorts or pants) to prevent others from touching the application area and being exposed to the drug. Wait at least 1 hour before allowing others to touch the skin where the medication was applied. If someone accidentally touches the gel (or the application area within 1 hour), have them wash the area of contact on their body with soap and water as soon as possible.

To get the best effect, wait at least 1 hour before showering/swimming to allow the drug to be absorbed through the skin.

Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same time each day.

Based on the Endocrine Society guidelines for the endocrine treatment of gender dysphoric/gender incongruent persons, estradiol as monotherapy or combination therapy, is effective for elevating serum estradiol levels and suppressing serum testosterone levels into the normal range for females, resulting in decreased hair growth, muscle mass, sexual desire, sperm production, spontaneous erections, and testicular volume, as well as breast growth, male sexual dysfunction, redistribution of body fat, and skin and voice changes. In many cases, estrogen therapy will need to be augmented with a second compound to suppress androgen secretion, such as spironolactone or Antiandrogen
