Estradiol Patch vs. Gel
A clinical comparison of the two primary transdermal estrogen delivery systems.
The Evidence Verdict
The choice between patch and gel is largely one of lifestyle preference and dosage flexibility. Both are equally effective and safe.
The patch provides more stable blood levels over 3.5 days, while the gel allows for finer titration. If you have sensitive skin, the gel may be better. If you prefer convenience, the patch is superior.
