Questions, answered.
Pill or patch?
Both treat the same symptoms. The pill is a daily step; the patch goes through the skin and is changed weekly. Your provider helps you choose.
Do I need progesterone too?
If you have a uterus, yes. Estrogen taken alone can cause the uterine lining to thicken (endometrial hyperplasia), which increases the risk of endometrial cancer. Progesterone protects the uterine lining. If you've had a hysterectomy, your provider will advise whether you need it.
What if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it's almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. Do not take two doses at the same time.
When will I feel a difference?
Response to treatment varies from person to person. Your provider follows your symptoms at each check-in and adjusts your treatment as needed.
Do I need a prescription?
Yes. Complete a short online visit to see if this treatment is right for you. A licensed provider reviews your answers and decides whether it's appropriate to prescribe.
Who makes the treatment decision?
Licensed providers make all consultation and prescribing decisions. Purchasing does not guarantee a prescription. Prescriptions are issued only after a licensed provider reviews your information and determines that treatment is appropriate.
What the research says.
The studies discussed here may involve different formulations, doses, delivery methods, or patient populations from the treatment offered. They do not establish the safety or effectiveness of this specific compounded product. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved; FDA does not review their safety, effectiveness, or quality before marketing.

What was studied. A professional evidence synthesis (not a single trial) of menopausal hormone therapy.
What researchers found. Menopausal hormone therapy is the most effective treatment for hot flashes and night sweats. Low-dose vaginal estrogen is an established treatment option for menopause-related vaginal dryness and discomfort when nonprescription measures are insufficient.
How it relates to this treatment. Your clinician reviews your symptoms, medical history, and individual risks to determine whether treatment is appropriate. Patients with a uterus generally need endometrial protection (progesterone) when using systemic estrogen. Bundles combine individual treatments; the bundles themselves have not been studied as products.
