Key points

  • Combined HRT contains oestrogen and a progestogen, while oestrogen-only HRT does not.
  • HRT is supplied in several forms, including tablets, patches, gels and local vaginal preparations.
  • Treatment is reviewed according to symptoms, tolerability and individual health context.

Oestrogen and progestogen medicines in this collection

Estrace contains Estradiol and Conjubrook contains conjugated oestrogens. Both are listed for Menopausal Vasomotor Symptoms, alongside other indications. Estriol Topical contains estriol and is listed for atrophic vaginitis, dyspareunia and postmenopausal urogenital conditions, treating genitourinary symptoms through a local route rather than a tablet.

Provera contains Medroxyprogesterone Acetate, Progesterone Capsules contain Progesterone, Duphaston contains dydrogesterone and Aygestin contains norethindrone acetate. These four are listed for amenorrhoea, abnormal uterine bleeding, endometriosis or endometrial hyperplasia rather than for menopause itself, though their hormone identity places them in this HRT range. Tibofem contains tibolone and is listed for the same vasomotor symptoms as well as postmenopausal osteoporosis prevention.
