How Should Medications for Menopausal Symptoms be Prescribed?
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can be prescribed for menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and vaginal dryness. The choice between estrogen-only and combined estrogen-progestin therapy depends on whether the patient has had a hysterectomy. HRT is generally prescribed at the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary to manage symptoms, given the associated risks.
