The gel is usually applied once daily. The recommended starting dose is 0.25 mg daily. Your doctor may adjust your dose based on your response.

To apply the estradiol gel, open the foil packet and squeeze the entire contents onto the skin of the upper thigh. Spread the gel in a thin layer over an area of about 5 to 7 inches or the size of two palm prints. Allow the gel to dry completely before dressing. To avoid skin irritation, rotate between the right and the left thigh each day.

Do not apply the gel to the breasts, face, vagina or to irritated or damaged skin.

Discard the empty foil packet into a garbage container that cannot be accessed by pets or others in the household. Wash your hands when you are finished. Do not let others come in contact with the area of skin where you applied the gel for at least one hour after you apply the gel.

Many things can affect the dose of a medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are using the medication without consulting your doctor.

It is important that Divigel (Estradiol-topical) be used exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Apply the gel at the same time each day. If you miss a dose, do not double the dose the next day. If your next dose is less than 12 hours away, wait and apply your next dose the next day, as usual. If it is more than 12 hours until the next dose, apply the dose you missed, and resume your normal dosage the next day. If you accidentally spill some of the contents of a packet, do not open a new packet. Apply your normal dose the next day.

Divigel (Estradiol-topical) is flammable because the gel contains alcohol. Avoid fire, flame, or smoking until the gel has dried. Allow the gel to dry for approximately 2 minutes before covering it with clothing.

Store Divigel (Estradiol-topical) at room temperature, and keep it out of the reach of children.

Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
