What are the risks of hormone replacement therapy and how long should it be taken for?

Hello!

Usually, it is taken for the shortest amount of time possible, at the lowest possible dose.

The doses used for hormone replacement therapy are much lower than those used for contraception.

There are some risks involved, but they still remain low. Side effects are possible with every medication or substance.

As for more precise information personnalised to her case, this should come from her pharmacist.

Kind regards

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
