Hi Everyone
I hope everyone if doing the best possible.
I have a dosage query. After being on Anastrozole a few months in 2023 I became waterworks incontinent. Between GP and consultant I changed to Tamoxifen to allow oestrogen pessaries. After several weeks this worked brilliantly. However, after a few months, due to symptoms slightly returning, the twice weekly needed increasing to 3 to 4 times weekly to keep the pipes thickened. This was fine but I'm forgetful (ADHD). I swapped to Estring.
Now I'm 6 weeks into using Estring. Incontinence symptoms have returned.
I assumed Estring 7.5 micrograms/24 hours vaginal delivery is 52.5mg weekly. Hence more than 5 x estradiol 10mg pessaries. However on the box also states 2mg! See pic.
Have I misunderstood this?
Thank you.
