Estrogen Body Cream with Progesterone

Target over 100 symptoms of menopause, including:

Estrogen Body Cream with Progesterone is a fast-absorbing topical that combines bioidentical estradiol, estriol, and progesterone. It bypasses the liver to send hormones directly through the skin, so it’s also a great menopause treatment option for those with liver conditions.

Apply the HRT cream topically to clean, dry, and hair-free skin, avoiding the face and breasts. Dispense a pea-sized amount (typically 2 pumps) as directed by your Winona physician.

Massage the cream into your skin for 10-15 seconds until fully absorbed. If the cream beads up, you may have used more than your skin can absorb; consider applying to different areas such as the forearms, abdomen, backs of the knees, or inner thighs.

Wash your hands after application, and allow the cream to absorb for 30 minutes before swimming or bathing.

Q: Why would I need both estrogen and progesterone?

A: Progesterone helps maintain a lean and healthy uterus. If you have a uterus, it's important to take progesterone alongside estrogen to mitigate the risk of overgrowth of uterine cells, which can lead to cancer. If you no longer have a uterus, it’s generally considered safe to take estrogen alone.

Q: Is progesterone safe to take in the form of a cream?

There is ample data that when done correctly, progesterone in cream form can safely protect the uterine lining. The important thing is that the progesterone is micronized for better absorption in the body. With micronized hormones, there is optimal absorption with smaller doses required. Winona’s pharmacies ensure the highest safety, quality, and efficacy of all of our compounded treatments.

Q: What does bi-est mean?

A: Bi-est, short for bi-estrogen or bi-estrogens, is a compounded hormone therapy that contains a combination of two types of estrogen hormones: estriol (E3) and estradiol (E2). The specific ratio of the two estrogens in bi-est can vary depending on individual needs and the healthcare provider's recommendations. The combination is thought to offer the benefits of both hormones while minimizing potential side effects associated with hormone replacement therapy.

Q: Why isn’t the bottle full?

A: While the bottle may not look full, it contains enough cream to last the expected amount of days. For example, there are 180 pumps in a 45g bottle for 90 days. If you’re prescribed two pumps per day, the 180 pumps will last the full 90-day period. The pharmacy tends to add a few extra doses of cream to each bottle just in case. If you’re still unsure about your supply, the other side of the label will indicate the supply duration (e.g., Day Supply: 90).

Q: Is the progesterone in the cream safe for those with peanut allergies?

A: Yes, our progesterone cream is safe for women with peanut allergies.
