Lenzetto spray is a form of hormone therapy that delivers oestrogen (estradiol) through your skin. It is prescribed for menopause symptoms such as hot flushes and night sweats.
How does it work?
Lenzetto is a transdermal spray applied daily to the inner forearm. Each dose contains 1.53 mg estradiol, absorbed gradually for stable hormone levels. Dosage can be adjusted (1-3 sprays daily).
Experiences
Generally positive: easy to use, dries quickly, no visible patches, effective against hot flushes. Some women report skin irritation, a 4-8 week wait for full effect, and needing to avoid skin contact with others immediately after application.
Advantages of transdermal delivery
Lower thrombosis risk than tablets (bypasses the liver), more stable hormone levels and suitable for women with higher body weight.
Alternatives
Estradiol patches (applied 1-2x weekly), estradiol gel (applied daily) and oral tablets are all alternatives if Lenzetto does not suit you.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need progesterone alongside Lenzetto?
Yes, if you still have your uterus, progesterone is always prescribed alongside oestrogen therapy to protect the uterine lining.
