Hormone Therapy How to split gel dose

The combo that works for me is Sandoz 0.0375 twice weekly patch plus 0.25 Divigel every night.

Mylan doesn’t work at all but I still have a stash of Sandoz. But I can’t get any Divigel.

I do have a box of 0.5 Divigel from when the doc had suggested switching over completely to Divigel

How do I measure out half the 0.5 sachet and how do I store the remainder ? I recall someone split the sachet between morning and evening.

Has anyone done it? Thx

You can use a jewelers scale and measure it out of the packet onto a spatula.

You can squeeze the package into a large syringe and measure it out that way.

I use an oral syringe. I actually bought a box of them on Amazon 3ml. Just squeeze the gel in the end, put the plunge back in and tip it point up and slowly press the plunge back. You can perfectly measure it your dose. Then save the rest in the syringe for the next day.
