HRT

What is HRT?

HRT, or hormone replacement therapy, is treatment that women take to help relieve menopausal symptoms like night sweats, hot flushes, vaginal dryness, poor sleep, brain fog, mood swings and lower sex drive.

How long you take it for can vary; many women take it for a year or two but some can take it for much longer than this. It’s a very individual thing. Certain types of HRT will also suit you more than others. Our clinician can talk you through the different options, and help you to decide which one is right for you.

How does HRT work?

As you enter the menopause, the levels of oestrogen that your body produces start to decrease, due to a shift in the balance of your sex hormones. This can cause symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats and changes to your mood. HRT contains synthetic oestrogen, which makes up for the natural oestrogen that’s lost, and helps to tackle menopausal symptoms.

Combined forms of HRT also contain a second hormone: a synthetic form of progesterone. Without anything to keep it in check, oestrogen may increase your risk of getting endometrial cancer, as it can cause the womb lining to thicken more than it should. The progesterone in combined HRT offers protection from this, keeping the oestrogen in line and reducing the risk of womb cancer developing. It’s more convenient to take combined HRT as a pill or patch which contains both progesterone and oestrogen, but sometimes it’s better to take these separately.

If you’ve had a total hysterectomy though, because your womb has been removed, you’ll usually be prescribed oestrogen only HRT.

The menopause can also cause your bones to become more fragile and more prone to breaking. HRT can provide some protection against osteoporosis by helping the bones to stay strong. HRT isn’t a primary treatment for osteoporosis though, so if you’re looking to use it for this purpose, just let our clinician know and they can chat to you about it.

HRT benefits

The major benefit of HRT is that it can help to ease many symptoms of the menopause (by as much as 75%, so quite a lot then).

The oestrogen and progesterone in combined HRT make a good team. The oestrogen helps to manage symptoms of the menopause whilst the progesterone helps to keep it in check and reduces your cancer risk.

And there’s the protection it can provide from osteoporosis too, when the bones in the body are more at risk of breaking or becoming brittle after the menopause.

HRT

What forms of HRT are there?

There are a number of different types of HRT available, and we can talk you through your options.

Tablets

Tablets are one of the most widely used types of HRT. There are tablet options for both combined HRT and oestrogen only HRT, and you normally take them once every day. They do carry a slightly increased risk of blood clots and breast cancer than other forms of HRT treatment, but it is only a small increase (nine more women develop a blood clot for every 10,000 women each year). Because of this increased breast cancer risk, make sure you attend your breast cancer screening (mammogram) appointments.

Skin patches

If you find having to remember to take a tablet every day a bit inconvenient, skin patches may be a more low maintenance treatment for you and they’re safer for your heart than tablets. You stick HRT patches to your skin, and change them twice a week. They’re available as a combined HRT treatment or as an oestrogen only medication. Skin patches can be a strong option if you’re prone to side effects such as indigestion, and they don’t increase your risk at all of developing a blood clot, unlike tablets.

Oestrogen gel

More and more women are starting to use oestrogen gel for menopausal symptoms, and it’s probably because it’s really easy to use. You just need to rub it onto your skin once a day. It doesn’t increase your blood clot risk either, but if you still have your womb, you’ll need to use an additional progesterone, to limit your chances of getting womb cancer.

Implants

They’re not particularly common, but you can also get a HRT implant, which releases oestrogen slowly into the body and doesn’t need to be replaced for several months at a time. You’ll need to take a separate progesterone though if you’ve still got your womb.

HRT

So what is the best HRT for me?

It depends on a number of factors, like what stage of the menopause you’re at, how sensitive you are to certain levels of hormones, and whether you prefer to take tablets or use patches, for example.

Whether or not you’ve had a total hysterectomy is also a factor, and if you have certain health conditions, that can play a big part too.

Here are your options. Our clinician can talk you through them, and recommend safe and suitable HRT treatments just for you.

Combined sequential and sequential HRT

If you’re getting menopausal symptoms and still having your period, combined sequential (or cyclical) HRT treatments are usually the recommended options. Combined HRT products like Femoston and Estalis Sequi patches are known as ‘combined’ treatments because they contain two hormones: a progesterone and an oestrogen.

With sequential HRT, you start your cycle with oestrogen only tablets (or patches) and then take a combination of oestrogen and progesterone tablets (or patches) part way through your cycle.

Continuous combined HRT

If you haven’t had a period for one year, you’re usually considered to be postmenopausal, and continuous combined HRT products like Angeliq and Estalis Continuous tend to be the suggested route. With continuous combined HRT treatments, you take a combination of oestrogen and progesterone every day, without a break (hence ‘continuous’). So they’re a little different to sequential HRT products.

Oestrogen only HRT

Oestrogen only treatments such as Estrofem and Estradot patches are normally recommended for women who have had their womb removed during a hysterectomy. Like continuous combined HRT, you typically take oestrogen every day, without a break.

Side effects of HRT may also vary from one woman to the next, so some HRT medications won’t be safe (or suitable) for women to use on this basis, while other products will be. If you’re more sensitive to oestrogen, you may be better suited to lower-dose HRT products. And if you have a particular health condition, this can mean that certain HRT products won’t be safe for you to use either.

Our clinician can identify which treatments are appropriate for you and which aren’t, and make recommendations based on your medical background.

What HRT alternatives are there?

Tibolone

There’s a prescription HRT medicine called Tibolone (also branded as Livial, Livilan and Xyvial) that’s used to relieve menopausal symptoms and as a preventative treatment for osteoporosis. Tibolone is the active ingredient, so it’s a bit different to other forms of HRT, which contain oestrogen and progesterone (or just oestrogen).

It can help to ease symptoms like hot flushes, reduced sex drive and low mood, but research has suggested that Tibolone may be less effective than combined HRT. It’s also only a suitable option for women who are postmenopausal (so women who had their last period over a year ago).

Tibolone can produce side effects, including breast pain, vaginal discharge, pain in the pelvis, itching and abdominal pain.

The slightly increased risks of breast cancer and stroke that HRT carry are similar with Tibolone.

Clonidine

Clonidine is another prescription treatment that’s sometimes used to help tackle symptoms like flushing and night sweats. It’s a tablet that you take two or three times a day, and it has no effect on hormone levels, so there’s no increased risk of breast cancer for example. Studies suggest that it only has a small impact on easing flushing and night sweats though, and it can have unpleasant side effects too. Clonidine is a blood-pressure medication. It’s not licensed for treating menopause symptoms, but doctors might prescribe it to you ‘off-label’ if they think it’ll be a safe and suitable treatment for you.

HRT

FAQ: HRT

Have something specific you want to know about HRT? Search our info below, or ask our experts a question if you can’t find what you’re looking for.

What’s the difference between Elleste Solo and Elleste Duet?

Answer:
Although both come under the label HRT, they don’t treat the same thing, or at least the same part of the menopausal cycle.

Elleste Solo is prescribed to treat the post menopause, when your period has stopped. It contains one active ingredient, estradiol (oestrogen). Elleste Duet contains a progesterone called norethisterone, as well as an oestrogen, making it a combined HRT.

So why the two versions? Oestrogen prescribed by itself for those over the age of 35 can greatly heighten the risk of cancer and endometrial hyperplasia. The synthetic progesterone in Elleste Duet decreases that risk while providing the same benefits.

This is not an issue if you have had a hysterectomy and is why Elleste Solo can only be prescribed for postmenopausal women who have had one.

Should I use Elleste Solo patches or tablets?

Answer:
There’s no difference in effectiveness between Elleste Solo tablets and patches. It really depends on you. Some people may get some skin irritation from the patches, while others may have difficulties swallowing tablets.

Whatever the reason you make your choice, you can rest assured that you’re getting the most from the treatment when it’s taken as instructed.

What do I need to know before using Elleste Solo?

Answer:
If you still have regular periods, HRT needs to be taken on the first day of bleeding, otherwise you can start to take it straight away, which is only relevant if you’re taking a separate progesterone treatment alongside Elleste.

If you’re changing from another type of HRT, you should take your first Elleste Solo the day after you finish the previous treatment unless your clinician has instructed you otherwise.

What are the Elleste Solo dosages?

Answer:
Elleste Solo has two dosages for each form. Elleste Solo 1mg tablets and the stronger 2mg dosage are mirrored by Elleste Solo MX 40 and MX 80 for the patch. It’s likely you will be prescribed the lower dosage to begin with and it will be increased only if it proves to be ineffective for you.

If you’re uncertain about whether your dose is right for you, or if it isn’t effective or causing side effects, let our clinician know via your Treated account. They can discuss adjusting your dose with you if appropriate.

Is Zumenon the same as Elleste Solo?

Answer:
In short, yes. Elleste Solo and Zumenon contain the same active ingredient, estradiol hemihydrate, and in the same dosages, 1mg and 2mg. The only difference between the two is packaging, name and price.

Elleste Solo is usually a little cheaper, but it’s always recommended to compare pricing on products that contain the same ingredients in the same dosages.

Why should I Buy Elleste Solo online with Treated?

Answer:
The convenience of taking an online consultation with our clinicians is that you don’t need to make appointments or even leave your house. We can make tailored treatment recommendations for you, based on your medical background. You then choose your HRT treatment and your delivery schedule, and we’ll do the rest. Change, pause or cancel your subscription at any point.

Once you have your treatment, we want to be sure that it’s working well for you too. That’s why we also provide an aftercare service where you can get in touch with us about any issues you’re having with your medication.

Is Kliofem the same as Elleste Duet?

Answer:
While they do contain the same hormones, Kliofem is a continuous combined HRT tablet, whereas Elleste Duet is a combined sequential HRT tablet. So you take the treatments in different ways.

Kliofem is also an HRT product that’s recommended for postmenopausal women who haven’t had a period for at least one year, whereas Elleste Duet is a treatment for menopausal women who are still experiencing their period.

Can I delay my period on Elleste Duet?

Answer:
It’s not normally advisable, and it’s very important that you discuss it with our clinician in the first instance. In some cases, women delay their periods whilst taking Elleste Duet by taking additional tablets as opposed to maintaining the 28-day cycle.

Taking too many tablets with oestrogen in them can be dangerous as a rise in oestrogen levels in the body will make the uterine lining thicken excessively. This increases your risk of developing womb cancer. So you should always talk about delaying your period with our clinician first.

Novofem and Elleste Duet: are they the same?

Answer:
Both Novofem and Elleste Duet contain estradiol and norethisterone acetate and they’re both combined sequential HRT treatments. The pill regime is the same too. It’s just the colour of the pills that are different, along with the manufacturer and the packaging (like Kliofem, Novofem is made by Novo Nordisk, rather than Mylan).

Novofem is also only available in one dose: 1mg estradiol and 1mg norethisterone, rather than as a low dose and medium dose tablet.

Why should I buy Elleste Duet online with Treated?

Answer:
With a Treated subscription, you can buy Elleste Duet online without having to make an appointment with a clinician. Once you’ve told us about your health, we’ll recommend treatment options that are safe and suitable for you. You can then choose your medication, and how often you’d like to receive it too.

And once you’ve bought your treatment, we’ll be in touch regularly to see how you’re getting on with your medication. You can change, pause or cancel your subscription anytime.

What size are the Evorel Sequi patches?

Answer:
HRT patches are designed to be discreet. Measuring just 4cm accross, they are easily hidden under clothing, usually on the bottom half of the body (but more on that later).

They essentially look like small plasters and are just as thin, meaning they are unlikely to show through your clothing. As long as they’re placed on a hairless part of the bottom half of the body, and not where you might wear elastic, you can put them anywhere you feel is most discreet.

What problems can the menopause cause?

Answer:
The menopause describes hormonal changes in the body that lead to the end of your period and your ability to become pregnant naturally. This usually happens between your mid 40s and mid 50s, but can occur earlier in some women.

The menopause can have a major impact on your life, both physically and psychologically, so having the option of a treatment like HRT can be life changing.

Symptoms of the menopause include: hot flushes, mood changes, an inability to concentrate, vaginal dryness, insomnia, night sweats and a significant drop in sexual desire. These symptoms can build slowly, in some cases lasting several years before your period stops completely.

Evorel Sequi patches can also be used to prevent osteoporosis, a bone condition that often occurs in menopause and leads to brittle or deformed bones.

How do I change the Evorel Sequi patch?

Answer:
Removing the patch is easy. Just peel it off and fold it over so the sticky side attaches to itself. This prevents any remaining hormones from being picked up by children or pets.

Always throw the patch away, and don’t flush it down the toilet. After the patch has been removed it might leave some glue on your skin. This will fall off over time, or you can remove it with soap and water or baby oil.

Can I buy Evorel Sequi patches over the counter?

Answer:
You’ll need a prescription to get Evorel HRT patches. HRT treatments can have side effects, and certain products may not be suitable for you if you have an existing health condition, or if you’re currently taking other medications, for example.

So you’ll need to have a consultation with a clinician first to assess if Evorel Sequi is safe for you to use, during which it’s important to tell them about your medical history and any treatments you’re currently using.

Why should I buy Everol Sequi patches online from Treated?

Answer:
We’ll not only help you to find the right HRT treatment for you, we’ll check in with you regularly afterwards, to see how you’re getting on with it. If it’s not working for you the way it should, or if you’d like to switch to something else, we can see to that.

Our clinicians are on hand to answer any questions you might have, or to talk you through any concerns. Send them a message using your Treated account, and they’ll get right back to you. You can change, pause or cancel your subscription at any point.

Is Zumenon similar to any other treatments?

Answer:
Zumenon and Elleste Solo are the exact same medication produced and marketed by different companies. Other oestrogen HRT treatments are delivered through transdermal patches and other routes. People who take Zumenon may prefer the ease of taking a pill, while other people prefer patches and other methods that don’t require daily adherence.

How is Zumenon different from other HRTs?

Answer:
Zumenon is a continuous HRT pill that only contains oestrogen. It’s a safe treatment for women who have had a hysterectomy. If you haven’t had a hysterectomy, you may need a treatment that combines oestrogen and progesterone.

Which dose of Zumenon should I use?

Answer:
It’s safest to start any HRT treatment on the lowest dose available to avoid side effects. With Zumenon, our clinician will most likely start you on 1 mg and increase your dose to 2 mg if you need more relief. Talk to our clinician so they know if you need an adjustment to your dose.

Do I need a prescription for Zumenon?

Answer:
All hormone replacement therapy drugs require monitoring by our clinician As a result, Zumenon is not available over the counter. Our clinician will need to review your health background and decide if Zumenon is safe for you to use before prescribing you with it.

Why should I buy Zumenon online with Treated?

Answer:
We’re keeping HRT simple. Tell us about your health, and we’ll advise you on safe and suitable treatments just for you. Choose your medication, and how frequently you’d like to receive it from our pharmacy. And the amount of treatment each time too.
We’ll check in with you on a regular basis to see how you’re getting on with your medication. You can change, pause or cancel your subscription at any point.

Can Trisequens cause depression?

Answer:
Women on Trisequens can experience symptoms of depression. After taking Trisequens for several weeks, these symptoms should resolve. If your symptoms of depression persist after you’ve been on Trisequens for a while, discuss this with your doctor. There may be another treatment option that works better for you.

Can Trisequens cause hair loss?

Answer:
It’s unlikely that Trisequens can cause hair loss. The levels of oestrogen in Trisequens actually promote hair growth and thickness. If you’re experiencing hair loss while on Trisequens, it’s likely due to another cause. Make sure you discuss this with your doctor.

Does Trisequens lead to weight gain?

Answer:
Hormone replacement therapy options like Trisequens don’t cause weight gain or weight loss. Changes in weight often occur with age and aren’t associated with hormone replacement therapy. If you’re concerned about your weight changes, discuss it with your doctor to identify the cause.

How quickly does Trisequens start to work?

Answer:
Trisequens can begin to relieve your symptoms for menopause in as little as two weeks. The full effects of this treatment will be realized by three months. It will also take the same amount of time for your body to adjust to Trisequens. If you’re still struggling with menopause symptoms or have severe side effects after this point, your doctor may suggest another hormone replacement therapy.

Why should I buy Trisequens online with Treated?

Answer:
Treated makes filling prescriptions quick and easy. If you need a prescription, we have clinicians who are ready to give you a virtual consultation.

Once you have a prescription, Treated can send you your medications the next day. Sign up for a subscription for your prescription to get it automatically every month.

Sandrena Gel and progesterone: do I need to take both?

Answer:
If your womb is still ‘intact’ (so you’ve not had a hysterectomy), yes. Oestrogen only treatments like Sandrena gel can cause the womb lining to thicken if the oestrogen level is left unchecked, and this can increase the risk of problems like cancer. Progesterone counters this and keeps oestrogen levels balanced.

What is Sandrena Gel made from?

Answer:
The active ingredient in Sandrena Gel is Estradiol. Estradiol is the synthetic form of the biological hormone oestrogen. The other ingredients that are in the gel are Carbopol 974P, Trolamine, Propylene Glycol, Alcohol and Purified Water.

Does Sandrena Gel cause weight loss?

Answer:
There is no substantial evidence to support this. But whether you are taking Sandrena or not, menopause may lead to changes in weight. There are a lot of factors involved in weight loss and weight gain, so it’s possible for someone to experience these when taking a treatment and they’ll still be recorded as a side effect. But there isn’t thought to be a direct link between taking HRT and changes in weight.

Is a prescription needed to buy Sandrena?

Answer:
Sandrena is not available over-the-counter. It’s a prescription only treatment so you’ll need to have a consultation with our clinician, so they can determine whether it’s the right treatment for you.

How long before Sandrena Gel starts to work?

Answer:
Once you start Sandrena, you should experience a relief in symptoms in a few weeks’ time. It may take at least three months to feel the full benefits . Initially it may also cause some side effects like vaginal bleeding, breast tenderness or enlargement, fluid retention leading to bloating, headaches, leg cramps, indigestion, swelling of other body parts and increased blood pressure, which subside within a few weeks.

Why should I buy Sandrena gel online with Treated?

Answer:
If you’re looking for the right HRT, we can help you. Talk to us to get personalised recommendations from our clinicians. We’ll ask you a few questions about your health, so we can help you choose the HRT that’s best for you. You’ll get to choose how often you want to receive your treatment from us and we’ll check in with you regularly to see how your treatment is going.

Does Premique low dose cause weight gain?

Answer:
The menopause can cause changes in your weight whether you are taking HRT or not. There’s no evidence that Premique or any other HRT can cause weight gain. If your weight is increasing, talk to our clinician about healthy eating and exercise to lose weight.

Can Premique cause weight loss?

Answer:
If you’re experiencing weight loss,there’s no evidence that HRT is the cause. Speak to our clinician if your weight loss is unexplained or drastic. You just need to sign in to your account and drop them a message.

Can I get Premique on prescription?

Answer:
You can only get Premique with a prescription. It isn’t available over-the-counter because the side effects of HRT can be serious. You must be monitored by our clinician whilst you’re on Premique or any other HRT treatment.

How long before Premique starts to work?

Answer:
Premique can start to relieve your menopause symptoms as quickly as two weeks. The full benefits of Premique can be reached within three months. If you’re not receiving enough relief at that point, talk to our clinician about other treatment options.

All HRT treatments can cause significant changes in your body. It will take time for your body to get used to it and you may experience some side effects until it does. After a few weeks, these side effects should disappear.

Why should I buy Premique online with Treated?

Answer:
Getting HRT has never been more convenient. Speak to one of our clinicians for recommendations on the right HRT treatments for you. You can then choose which one you’d like from your options, and how frequently you’d like us to send your medication to you. Change, pause or cancel your subscription anytime.
We believe in aftercare too. So once you’ve got your treatment, we’ll stay in touch with you to find out how you’re getting on with it. Our clinicians are on hand to answer any questions you might have for them.

Are there different forms of HRT?

Answer:
Yes. HRT comes in many forms, from combination therapies, which contain more than one hormone, to single hormone treatments, such as Oestrogel. There are also continuous treatments, which are usually prescribed for women who still have their period, and sequential therapies, prescribed for women who are postmenopausal.

As you can see, there are many options that can be prescribed for various stages of the menopause and for your individual needs. Our clinician can talk you through these options to find the right dose and type of therapy, as well as the right dosage.

Oestrogel and Utrogestan: why are they used together?

Answer:
If you’ve not had a hysterectomy, you’ll need to take a progesterone hormone to ensure that your risk of cancer is not increased. One of the most commonly prescribed progesterone treatments is Utrogestan, although it isn’t the only type of this hormone that can be prescribed with Oestrogel.

Once our clinician knows more about your health, they’ll be able to advise you on which treatments or combination of treatments will work best for you.

Can I buy the Oestrogel Pump Pack over the counter?

Answer:
Hormone replacement therapies are only available with a prescription, so you can’t buy them over the counter. Our clinician will need to monitor their use at the start of your treatment to see if they’re working for you, and they can advise you on any side effects you may experience.

As there are so many types of HRT, not to mention dosages and forms that they come in, getting advice on which one is right for you from our clinician is very important.

Is oestrogen safe for me to take?

Answer:
You shouldn’t take oestrogen on its own unless you’ve had a hysterectomy, as it can increase the risk of womb cancer. A hysterectomy is when the womb has been removed entirely.

For this reason, if you’ve not had a hysterectomy, you’ll be offered a different treatment that contains two hormones. These are known as combined treatments.
Or, you can take a separate progestogen alongside Oestrogel. Oestrogen and progestogen can also be found in the combined contraceptive pill.

Why should I buy Oestrogel online with Treated?

Answer:
Trying to identify the right HRT treatment for you, when there are so many options, can be a bit overwhelming. We’re here to help you pick the right medication just for you. Tell us about your health and our clinical team can advise you on treatments that are safe and suitable. From there, you can choose which one you’d like, and how frequently you’d like us to send it to you.

If you’ve got any questions about your medication, you can message our clinicians at any point using your Treated account. They’ll reach out to you on a regular basis to find out how you’re getting on with your treatment. You can change, pause or cancel your subscription at any point.

Is Novofem the same as Elleste Duet?

Answer:
Novofem and Elleste Duet contain the same hormones. Elleste Duet has a higher dose of oestrogen than Novofem, though, so if you’re more sensitive to oestrogen, Novofem may be more suitable for you. Other than that, they work in the same way in your body.

Can Novofem cause depression?

Answer:
Treatment with HRT may cause mood changes in some women, including depression. Most of the time, depression symptoms disappear a few weeks after starting to take Novofem.

If you’re still experiencing mood changes after taking Novofem for a few weeks, let our clinician know. There may be a better HRT option for your needs.

How long before Novofem starts to work?

Answer:
Novofem doesn’t take very long to work. After a couple of weeks, your post-menopausal symptoms should ease up. You should feel the full effect of Novofem within three months.

Menopause can cause a lot of changes in your body. Alleviating symptoms can sometimes cause side effects for some women. Usually these side effects go away once your body adjusts to the treatment.

Do I need a prescription for Novofem?

Answer:
A clinician needs to assess your menopausal symptoms and will recommend a range of HRT which is suitable. You can always chat with one of our clinical team before you start or whilst you’re taking HRT if you need to make changes. It isn’t available over the counter.

Does Novofem cause weight gain?

Answer:
There isn’t evidence that Novofem and other forms of HRT cause weight gain. As part of ageing and the changes that your body experiences, many women experience changes in their weight during menopause, regardless of whether they use HRT or not.

Why should I buy Novofem online with Treated?

Answer:
Getting your prescription Novofem is easy and convenient through Treated. Tell us about your health, and we’ll advise you on the right treatments just for you. You can choose your medication from there and how often you’d like to receive it from us too. Change, pause or cancel your subscription anytime.

Our clinical team will reach out to you on a regular basis to see how you’re finding your treatment. And if you’ve got any questions, you can sign in to your account and drop them a message at any point.

What doses of Kliovance are there?

Answer:
Kliovance only comes in one dose, which is the 0.5/1mg tablet (0.5mg norethisterone and 1mg estradiol). There is a higher dose version of the pill called Kliofem, which contains double the amount of both (1mg norethisterone and 2mg estradiol). Which one you use depends mostly on your menopause symptoms control, and whether you’re sensitive to oestrogens.

How effective is Kliovance?

Answer:
In clinical trials, 87% of women taking Kliovance over two years either gained bone density, or their bone density remained the same ; meaning that it was effective for the majority of women at reducing their osteoporosis risk. It was also helpful at reducing bleeding or spotting, with 90% of women taking it seeing none during the first 9-12 months of using it .

What’s the difference between Kliovance and Kliofem?

Answer:
Kliovance and Kliofem are the same drug essentially, only in different doses. Kliofem is a stronger version of Kliovance, containing double the dose. You might take Kliofem straight after switching from sequential HRT, and then move onto Kliovance as your dose is lowered towards the end of treatment. Or, if you’ve used Kliofem and you had side effects from it, you might be recommended Kliovance instead.
