How do I stop my hormones for menopause?

Good morning, Madam,

Hormone therapy can be stopped all at once without any problem. However, about 1 out of 2 women will experience a fairly intense return of vasomotor symptoms (heat). This is especially true for women who had very strong menopausal symptoms. That said, it is possible to gradually reduce the dose of hormones to reduce the risk of the symptoms returning.

To do this, you can take 1 less Prometrium pill per week for 2 weeks, then 2 less pills per week for 2 weeks, and so on. You can then skip the Estrogel on those days until you stop taking both drugs.

Is my answer clear?

We look forward to seeing you,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist

To you too!
