&In a 2024 Australian survey of women taking two component MHT (n=24), 72% of women (n=17) responded “yes” to “If your healthcare professional offered you both the estrogen and progesterone components in one tablet – would you prefer this over taking a two component MHT therapy (whereby you take a tablet and a patch/or gel)?”8 #Clinical evidence and guidelines support the use of low-dose oral estrogen and progesterone therapies in healthy postmenopausal women with no contraindications or conditions requiring supervision (e.g. past VTE, age > 65 with no prior MHT, established CVD).
