Title: HRT in Spain
Post by: Devlyn on March 31, 2025, 08:24:44 AM
My HRT in the UK was the same as my HRT in the US: estradiol tablets.

When I transferred my prescription to the health system in Spain, the pharmacy told me they send it out for compounding, which surprised me. Sure enough, I got these adorable little capsules.  ;D 

I've never seen estradiol dispensed this way, and  they're the smallest capsules I've ever seen. Picture attached below.

Anyone want to come snort a line of estradiol?  :laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:

Lower cost seller perhaps.

On that note, a fifty day supply here is about €4.50. The  compounding pharmacy has a minimum quantity, so you get the whole batch. In my case that's fifty days, not a month.

For 90 days of tablets it is $12 USD here for me in the USA.
