EstroGel (estradiol gel) Maximum Pump Dose in Postmenopausal Women

EstroGel 0.06% has a single approved metered-dose pump regimen of 1 pump depression once daily, delivering 1.25 g gel per day (containing 0.75 mg estradiol). [1]

Maximum Dose in Pumps

  • Maximum: 1 pump depression per day (applied to the arm). [1]

Metered-Dose Pump Conversion

  • 1 pump depression = 1.25 g of EstroGel 0.06% gel containing 0.75 mg estradiol. [1]

Clinical Notes on Dose Limits

EstroGel is labeled to use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration consistent with treatment goals and risks. [1]

Dosing Clarification for Other Estradiol Gels

Some estradiol gel products outside the United States may have different pump strengths and maximum titration schemes, which may lead to different maximum “pump” counts than EstroGel 0.06% in the U.S. [2]
