[Sajid Javid to appoint HRT tsar to address acute shortages
Health secretary announces plan to tackle lack of
products that has led to menopausal women
turning to black market]

https://www.theguardian.com/society/...ages-menopause


[The British Menopause Society has issued an
update on HRT supply to provide guidance
to BMS members and clinical practitioners
on the current availability of HRT products.

Besins Healthcare (UK) Ltd has advised that
it has experienced exceptionally high demand
for Oestrogel
over recent months and this has resulted in
shortages of availability.
Besins expects this to be a short-term issue
and anticipates that supplies will be available
to local wholesaler branches soon.

The BMS advises women who are experiencing
difficulty in obtaining Oestrogel
to consider equivalent alternative HRT preparations.
This could include Sandrena gel (0.5mg or 1mg)
or Lenzetto spray preparations.

Prescribers should consider using equivalent
preparations to those that their patients
are currently using.
If an exact match is not possible, prescribers can
seek guidance available on the BMS
website to clarify equivalent doses:]

There was a law passed recently where women could buy 12 months supply on one prescription charge rather than pay monthly charges I guess that hasn’t helped supply issues along with covid, brexit
