Easy HRT prescribing guide

There are numerous potential benefits to be gained by women taking HRT. Symptoms of the menopause such as hot flushes, mood swings, night sweats, and reduced libido improve. In addition, taking HRT has also been shown to reduce future risk of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, type 2 diabetes, osteoarthritis and dementia. Most benefit is afforded when women start HRT within 10 years of their menopause.
