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 age, health history, type of HRT, and duration
- Body-identical/bioidentical hormones (estradiol + micronized progesterone) are generally considered lower risk than older synthetic versions
- Individual assessment matters - risks differ based on personal/family history
Always discuss your specific health history with a clinician
