HRT Safety & Online Prescribing
Is HRT Safe?
For most healthy women, yes — modern HRT is considered safe and effective. Key points:
- Current evidence shows benefits often outweigh risks for women under 60 or within 10 years of menopause
- Transdermal forms (patches, gels) carry lower clot risk than oral pills
- Risk profile depends on your personal health history (clot history, certain cancers, etc.)
- The old safety fears largely came from a 2002 study that has since been significantly reinterpreted
