What is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)?

Woman drinking tea

Every woman goes through a different experience with menopause. Some women may have debilitating symptoms whilst others have very few. The reason behind the symptoms of menopause is due to lower levels of oestrogen. Menopausal symptoms can be managed with education, lifestyle changes, support and hormone replacement therapy (HRT), also known as menopausal hormone therapy (MHT).

Hormone replacement therapy is medication that contains female hormones. You take the medication to replace the oestrogen that your body stops making during menopause. Hormone therapy is most often used to treat common menopausal symptoms, including hot flashes and vaginal discomfort.

The current role of HRT is for menopausal symptom relief, at the lowest effective dose and for the shortest duration required for the control of bothersome menopausal symptoms.

What are the different forms of HRT?

Hormone replacement therapy primarily focuses on replacing the oestrogen that your body no longer makes after menopause.

Below are the different forms of HRT:

  • Oral tablets
  • Gels or patches (hormones are absorbed through the skin)
  • Creams and tablets placed in the vagina

Unsure of which HRT is right for me?

There are benefits and risks with HRT, so it’s important to talk to a doctor if you are considering it. These risks depend on the type of hormone therapy, the dose, how long the medication is taken and your individual health risks. For best results, hormone therapy should be tailored to each person and reevaluated every so often to be sure the benefits still outweigh the risks. Book in a consult with one of our Australian registered doctors and we will call you back within just 2 hours, all from the convenience of your own home.

What is InstantScripts?

InstantScripts is a secure online digital healthcare platform that makes managing your health easy, affordable and efficient.

For medical certificates that must be valid for more than 1 day, patients must consult with a doctor online via an InstantScripts Telehealth consultation.

Do I need a medicare card to use the InstantScripts service?

Our consultations are not bulk billed, but the pathology ordered through them, or on express pathology are generally bulk billed.

Our express scripts are also generally PBS subsidised so require a Medicare card number

Your medication will be fulfilled by Prahran Amcal Pharmacy located in Melbourne.

Please note that, for safety reasons, not all types of medication are eligible for home delivery.

Does InstantScripts bulk bill?

In January 2022, the Australian Government rules regarding telehealth bulk billing changed. In order to be eligible for bulk-billed doctor telehealth consultations, the patient must have had a face-to-face consultation with their doctor or another doctor in the same practice in the 12 months prior to the current telehealth service request. Therefore, InstantScripts is not able to provide bulk billed appointments. To find out more please visit Australian Government Rules
