The Essential Guide to Understanding Your Menopause Hormone Therapy Options

 

 If you’ve seen me 1-on-1 in practice, you know that I am extremely passionate about providing informed consent and making sure you are aware of the pros/cons of your menopause hormone therapy options. I never prescribe hormone therapy to any of my patients until they feel comfortable with what they are taking. I have a lot of patients who are prescribed hormones but they are unsure why that option was prescribed over another one. If you have felt this way, or want to be proactive in your journey and gain more knowledge, this guide will be perfect for you.

Here is what's covered inside: 

Introduction

  • Overview of hormones, oral vs transdermal estrogen, various different progestogens and the difference between them

Summary of the following MHT options (hint: transdermal estrogen and oral micronized progesterone are not your only options!):

  • Activelle
  • Angeliq 
  • Bijuva
  • Estalis
  • Duavive (known as Duavee in the United States)
  • Tibolone (Tibella)
  • Ospemifene (Osphena) 

Answering your frequently asked questions (FAQs):

  • How long does MHT take to work?
