What is the Typical Dosage for Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)?
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is commonly prescribed for menopausal symptoms. The dosage of HRT varies depending on whether the therapy involves estrogen alone or a combination of estrogen and progesterone. For estrogen-only therapy, typical dosages range from 0.3 to 1.25 mg of conjugated estrogens or its equivalent. Combination HRT may include 0.625 mg of conjugated estrogens and 2.5 mg of medroxyprogesterone acetate. Dosage adjustments are often necessary based on symptom relief and side effects.
