A member asked:
The recommended dose of estrogel is 2 pumps 1.5 mg estradiol - i am taking 1 pump, but still have symptoms - is 2 pumps considered a low dose?

There: Is no evidence to say that using 1/2 the amount is more safe. Transdermal estrogen is safe, 2 pumps, if it cures your hot flashes, is the recommended dose. Take as indicated but yes, 2 pumps is low. Good luck.
