Title: How can you check a HRT supply list
Post by: Tynkabelle on May 09, 2023, 08:03:26 PM

Responding to another post has prompted me to ask this.

Is there a way of being able to check if a specific type of HRT is still available - a website to check? (Without pestering the Dr/chemist - doing my own due diligence etc)

I was a long time user of Cyclo-Progynova 2mg and because it was greyed out on the Drs system have been told I can’t have it anymore (said UK won’t stock it/old type of HRT) so they have prescribed an alternative of an oestrogen gel and progesterone tablet - which 2 weeks in am not having a fab time with it - so I am apprehensive and want to find out somehow for certain if something is definitely end of life.

Is there any way?  Thank you.

Wonder how often it is updated as it says March 2023.  Could do with a more current update so I can go armed back to the Drs.
