How it works
Oestrogen replacement restores hypothalamic thermoregulatory stability, reducing vasomotor symptoms. Also maintains vaginal epithelial health, bone density, and supports neurotransmitter balance.
Requires GP prescription and regular review. Small increased risks of breast cancer (combination therapy), DVT, and stroke in certain women. Benefit outweighs risk for most healthy women under 60 with significant symptoms. Not for women with hormone-sensitive cancers.
Medical guidance
This remedy requires a prescription or pharmacist consultation in Australia. Speak to your GP or pharmacist before use.
