Menopause and HRT Hormone Replacement Therapy guidelines***
The above guideline is based on the Map of medicine . Although it is useful, I think that we need something more substantiative in terms of HRT prescribing in terms of preparations. I certainly struggle in terms of prescribing HRT confidently. I am going to be controversial and place a HRT guideline below that was produced by Stockport . This is only temporary until Barnsley Medicine Management can kindly produce something similar for Barnsley. If this HRT Guideline below is lost, it is because it contains the names of HRT preparations that haven't yet been approved by the APC.
I or Barnsley CCG do not take any responsibility of its accuracy if you decide to use it. May be a Barnsley GP with a passion for HRT prescribing may take on this task !
