Title: Newbie prescription help
Post by: Nikkia77 on July 25, 2022, 03:12:13 PM

Hello
I picked up my first HRT prescription at the weekend & I've got a couple of questions that I wondered if anyone could help with x

I’ve got utrogestan 100, the instructions on the pharmacy label say
‘Take one for first 12 days of cycle’
(I’ve checked with them & this was definitely what was written on the prescription)

But the instructions on the leaflet say take 2 on days 15 to 26 or take 1 from day 1 to day 25

I’m confused
Do I attempt to get a appointment with dr to query it or do I just follow the instructions on the pharmacy label and why?

Also, are there any supplements you CAN’T take with HRT?
I don’t take any ‘menopause specific’ supplements, more PMS ones like evening primrose, magnesium, that sort of thing

Thanks in advance x
