HRT
Hormone replacement therapy is the most effective treatment for climacteric symptoms of women in different stages of the menopause. Nowadays, women suffering from climacteric symptoms have a choice of well-tolerated and efficacious low-dose hormone replacement preparations.
Experts recommend that HRT be started early with a low-dose sequential combined product in order to alleviate symptoms and to maintain a regular cycle. A complete stop of monthly bleedings can be achieved by switching earlier to a continuous combined low-dose product. This is of particular importance for women in the 21st century who have an extended life expectancy and expect to live an active life.
Since the publication of the results of the Women’s Health Initiative Study (WHI) and Million Women Study (WMS), most health authorities recommend that the lowest effective dose is used to relieve symptoms and lower adverse reactions.
