Prices checked: 12 August 2026· Indicative treatment-service prices, not quotes
At a glance
- Typical private cost: £15–£45 per month for the treatment service — confirm whether a progestogen is extra
- Prescription-only — an online consultation is always required, and suitability is not guaranteed
- NHS HRT + HRT PPC (£19.80/year in England) is usually much cheaper; free in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland
- Often used with a progestogen (e.g. Utrogestan) if you have a womb
- Provider rows without a dated price say “check current price” — we do not invent a figure

Pick My Pharmacy is an independent comparison service and not a pharmacy. Where a listing is a referral partner we may earn a commission when you visit them — this never changes prices you pay, ratings, or the order providers appear. Affiliate links use rel="sponsored" and are labelled “Ad – Affiliate”. For Prescription Only Medicines we promote the pharmacy’s clinical service, not a specific medicine, in line with the MHRA Blue Guide. See our affiliate compliance.
What does the private price cover?
UK online pharmacies price Oestrogel as a treatment service: the monthly figure normally includes the online consultation, review by a prescriber, the gel, and tracked delivery. Pump count matters — two pumps versus three is a different monthly use of the bottle, so compare the regimen you were prescribed, not a headline “from” pack. Confirm whether a progestogen such as Utrogestan is included or billed separately if you have a womb and take oestrogen. We do not invent a provider price; if a row has no last-checked figure, check the pharmacy’s live page.
Is NHS HRT cheaper than private Oestrogel?
Usually, yes — by a wide margin. In England, listed HRT medicines are covered by the HRT prepayment certificate at £19.80 for 12 months (2026/27 rates, frozen this year). That is typically less than one or two months of private supply. Prescriptions are free in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Private online Oestrogel is mainly about speed, continuity, or bridging a wait — not undercutting the NHS. Ask your GP before paying privately.
Who should skip a private Oestrogel comparison?
Skip this page if you need a clinician to choose gel versus patch versus oral HRT — that is not a spreadsheet. Skip it if your GP can prescribe and you already hold an HRT PPC. Skip any website that will post estradiol gel with no consultation. This page is price comparison only; speak to a pharmacist or GP about suitability, and report suspected side effects via the MHRA Yellow Card scheme.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Oestrogel available on the NHS?▼
Yes, where clinically appropriate. In England the HRT PPC costs £19.80 for 12 months of listed HRT prescriptions. Use the HRT PPC calculator on this site before paying privately. Prescriptions are free in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
Do I need Utrogestan as well as Oestrogel?▼
Anyone with a womb taking oestrogen as part of HRT also needs a progestogen to protect the womb lining. Utrogestan is one option. Which pairing suits you is a decision for your prescriber, not a price table. Confirm whether the private fee includes both.
Why is there no price on some pharmacy rows?▼
We only publish a provider price when we have checked it against that pharmacy’s own page. An empty cell means “check current price”, not a secret discount. We never invent a figure to fill the table.
Oestrogel or Evorel?▼
Both are estradiol. Gel versus patch is a clinical and practical choice (skin, routine, dose titration). Compare the private service price for the format you were prescribed — see our Oestrogel vs Evorel cost answer.
Why does a pharmacy on this Oestrogel table have no price?▼
We only publish a provider price when we have verified it against that pharmacy’s own published treatment-service page, with a checked date. A blank cell means the figure is not on file — not that the service is free, and not that we ranked the pharmacy last. Confirm the live price on the pharmacy’s site. Pharmacies can submit a published figure when they claim a listing; payment never fills a cell.
Can a pharmacy pay to rank higher for Oestrogel?▼
No. Payment buys labelled visibility and qualified enquiries, never a better score or a higher row on this table. Referral links are labelled “Ad – Affiliate” and use rel="sponsored". See our methodology.
