Description
Oral hormone replacement therapy is licensed for use in postmenopausal women who have not had a period in 12 consecutive months. They either just contain estradiol, which replaces oestrogen deficiency and is a synthetic form of progesterone. However, some HRT tablets contain both hormones and can have a 14-day cycle of a single hormone with a 14-day cycle of combined hormones. However, some contain only oestrogen. Remember to follow the directions on the medicine you are prescribed to ensure that you are taking it correctly.
