Arriving at the Right Hormone
Replacement Therapy
by Janina Filipczuk, B.Sc., M.Sc. (Pharmacology)
F.A.C.A. FCP
Arriving at the right hormone replacement
therapy formulations can take some time and adjustment. If
the initial HRT dose produces uncomfortable side effects or
doesn't alleviate symptoms, these steps can help tailor the
regimen:
- your physician can adjust the dose
- a different form of estrogen can be substituted (estriol
or estrone instead of estradiol, for example).
- Bio-identical progesterone can be used in place of synthetic
progestin.
Trying these steps (often one at a time) or changing the dosage
form to topical application using a measuring syringe, where
accurate dosage of particular hormone can be easily measured,
can prove very useful in the process of adjustment and help
a women and her physician to determine the smallest dose which
works best for her.
