HRT Safety & Online Prescribing
Is HRT Safe?
For most healthy women under 60 or within 10 years of menopause, modern HRT is generally considered safe and effective. Key points:
- Benefits include relief from hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, vaginal dryness, and bone protection
- Risks vary by type, dose, delivery method, and individual health history
- Body-identical/bioidentical hormones (estradiol + micronized progesterone) are generally considered lower risk than older synthetic versions
- Individual assessment matters - your personal and family medical history affects the risk/benefit calculation
Always discuss your specific situation with a qualified provider.
