Does anyone have any recommendations for online pharmacy recommendations for hrt please.
-
Superdrug Online Doctor service is very good, but I was just ordering Ovestin.
-
I've used Superdrug before and it was fine. Not used any other so no comparison.

I use Boots. Postage is free, you can opt in to a reminder email when it’s approaching time to place your next order, and the prescription usually arrives within a week.

Boots declined me as I have been on HRT for over 5 years, but thanks.

What is Superdrug's policy for people who have been on HRT over five years?
I ask because, Boots declined to prescribe me it, as I have been on over 5 years.

Do they accept women who have been on HRT over 5 years?
Boots declined me for this reason.

I tried them.
They have an antiquated notion that you should not be on hrt over 5 years.

Thanks I will try that. ❤️❤️
Manufacturers advise that HRT products should not be used for more than 5 years due to lack of data on their risks after this point.
This pisses me off, because it is based on flawed studies, and, by now, clinicians should be updated, my own GP's were of the belief it was true, thankfully, my current GP is more up to date.
I cannot use this pharmacy as they want to contact my GP.
As my case is complicated, I do not want them to contact my GP.
My GP knows I take 200mg utro daily, but online pharmacies decline my order.
Thanks

Hi
I am looking for an online pharmacy that do not want to contact my GP
Oxfordonline declined me because I take 200mg utrogestan a day, despite being post meno, my GP knows about this, it's due to diazepam complications.
Boots won't give me HRT as I have been on it for more than 5 years.
The Independent Pharmacy insist on notifying my GP, I do not want my GP to know at this stage, as I upped my evorel to 50mcg without them knowing.
I will notify my GP pending a response from an enquiry to Dr Currie.
I upped my 25mcg to 50mcg as IBS came back about 5 months after lowering my evorel from 50 to 25 due to bleeds.
I had IBS in peri, while they were gradually upping my hrt, starting at 25, I needed 100mcg at the time, due to bad flushes and IBS, which went away as soon as I started 100mcg.
Thanks

They didnt ask me any questions about previous usage. Also they advice I contact my GP but they don't contact the GP.

Hello
Superdrug don’t sell evorel with oestrogen only, they only sell co to or sequi

Dandelion, I think you mentioned you have not told your doctor that you are using another form of HRT or something else on those lines, apologies if I am wrong. But I think you need to be honest with your GB, you obviously need more help which can only be obtained with discussing it further with a meno specialist or your doctor.
Thankfully in the UK we are very strict on prescribing meds and online pharmacies are also restricted on what they can prescribe, it's for our protection after all.

My gp knows I bled on higher levels of hrt, however my symptoms have got much worse,
I don’t know why.
Sweats IBS cortisol etc you all know them.
I fear my GP will refuse to up my hrt.
I wish I knew why my meno symptoms have come back.
