Lenzetto

Lenzetto is a type of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) designed for women who haven't had a period in the past six months or have had a hysterectomy. What sets Lenzetto apart is that it's available as a spray, unlike most other HRT options, which typically come as pills, patches, or gels.

Lenzetto is a type of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) that contains only oestrogen. It's designed to help manage menopause symptoms. If you're experiencing hot flushes, trouble sleeping, sexual issues, or mood swings, Lenzetto might be beneficial for you.

Lenzetto contains estradiol, which is a synthetic version of oestrogen. Each spray releases 90 microlitres of liquid, with 1.53 mg of estradiol. The Lenzetto spray is applied transdermally, meaning you simply spray it onto your skin, and the active ingredient is absorbed through the outer layer (the dermis) into your bloodstream.

During the menopause, your body produces less oestrogen than before, which can lead to symptoms. Lenzetto helps by replacing your natural oestrogen to ease these symptoms.

Lenzetto spray bottles are available in just one size, but the number of sprays you need each day will vary based on your symptoms. Your clinician will typically advise starting with the lowest dose, which is one spray a day. Using the smallest effective dose for your symptoms can help minimise the risk of side effects.

If you're using several sprays each day, it's a good idea to apply them all at once. Simply spray each one on a different area of your inner forearm, using as many sprays as required.

Lenzetto is like Sandrena and Oestrogel in that it contains just one hormone, oestrogen, and is absorbed through the skin. However, while Sandrena and Oestrogel are gels, Lenzetto is available as a spray. If you find a spray more convenient, Lenzetto could be a suitable choice for you.

You can use Lenzetto at any time of the day, but try to apply it at roughly the same time each day. If you're using more than one spray, make sure to apply them all together.

Keep in mind that after applying Lenzetto, you should wait a few hours before showering, swimming, bathing, or putting sunscreen on the same area. It's a good idea to choose a time to use it that fits well with your daily schedule.

Some people notice weight loss or gain when taking HRT, but research on this isn't definitive. Menopause itself is often linked with weight changes because of shifts in hormone levels.

Some people say they experience weight gain or loss when on HRT. However, research indicates it doesn't have an effect.

If you notice weight gain while on HRT, it's likely due to the overall effects of menopause rather than the treatment itself.
