HRT

For many years, women were told that hormone replacement therapy should be stopped by the mid-50s, or that starting it after 60 carried risks so significant it was not worth considering. That position has been substantially revised.

Updated guidance from the British Menopause Society, NICE, and a growing body of clinical evidence paints a more nuanced picture. Pharmacy Planet offers a full range of HRT treatment options and a confidential online prescribing service for women exploring HRT at any age.

Why Would a Woman Consider Starting HRT After 60?

Menopause symptoms do not simply stop once periods

When most people think about hormone replacement therapy for menopause, they think of oestrogen and progesterone. Testosterone rarely enters the conversation, yet it is a hormone that women produce throughout their lives — one that declines significantly around the time of menopause. For many women, that decline contributes to symptoms that standard HRT does not fully address.
