Medication Overview

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) refers to prescription treatments that may be used to support hormone balance in women experiencing hormonal changes related to perimenopause, menopause, or other medical conditions affecting hormone levels.

Treatment plans may include different types of hormone therapies depending on the individual patient’s symptoms, medical history, and laboratory evaluation. In some cases, providers may determine that additional therapies, including injectable medications such as testosterone, are appropriate as part of a broader hormone management program.

Treatment decisions are made solely by licensed medical professionals who review your symptoms, health history, and available laboratory data to determine whether this therapy may be appropriate for you.

  • Hormone Replacement Therapy may not be appropriate for all individuals experiencing symptoms related to hormone changes.
