More information about Sandrena
About Sandrena
What is Sandrena gel?
Sandrena is a type of HRT manufactured by Orion. It is available in the form of a gel that comes in single-use sachets. It helps to improve menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats and vaginal dryness by helping to balance your hormone levels.
Does Sandrena contain progesterone?
No, Sandrena only contains oestrogen. You will need to take a progesterone if you have a womb to stop the lining of the womb from thickening too much. This helps to reduce the risk of cancer of the womb (endometrial cancer).
How does Sandrena work?
Sandrena contains estradiol, which is a synthetic form of the reproductive hormone oestrogen. During menopause, oestrogen levels fall, which is what causes symptoms. Sandrena therefore works by restoring your oestrogen levels, reducing these symptoms.
What are the benefits of Sandrena gel?
There are several benefits of using Sandrena. As well as reducing the severity of menopause symptoms, it has a lower risk of side effects compared to oral HRT. This is because it is absorbed into the skin, bypassing the digestive system and the liver.
Using Sandrena
When do I start Sandrena?
You can start Sandrena straight away if you have never used HRT or you are changing from a period-free HRT. If you are changing from a HRT that causes a period, you should wait for your period to end before starting Sandrena. .
How much Sandrena gel should I use?
Each Sandrena sachet contains 1 mg of the gel. The typical dose is one sachet per day (1 mg). But you can use 0.5 - 1.5 mg daily. .
Always follow the instructions from your doctor or specialist..
How do I apply Sandrena gel?
You apply Sandrena gel directly to the skin.
- Apply the gel to your lower body or thighs. Try to switch sides each day.
- Spread the gel over an area of skin that is 1-2 times the size of your hand.
- Allow the gel to dry for a few minutes.
- Wash your hands after applying the gel. Avoid getting the gel in your eyes as it can cause irritation.
- Do not let anyone touch the area of the skin where the gel was applied until it has dried.
Allow the gel to absorb before showering, swimming or doing heavy exercise.
What happens if I miss a dose?
If you are less than 12 hours late, apply the gel as soon as you remember. If you are more than 12 hours late, skip the missed dose and take the next dose at the usual time. Missing doses may cause bleeding between periods (breakthrough bleeding).

- had a heart attack, stroke or angina (conditions caused by blood clotting)

How safe is Sandrena?
Sandrena gel is safe, provided you get a prescription from a licensed healthcare professional. It was approved for use in the UK in November 1996, and since then has been a trusted product for thousands who rely on it for effective HRT treatment.
However, as with all HRT medicines, it can pose some risk. You should take special care if you have a condition that makes you more likely to get a blood clot. Speak with your doctor if you’re unsure about the safety of treatment with Sandrena gel.
