Treatment of perimenopause and menopause

The main drug treatment for the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause is menopausal hormone therapy (MHT), also known as hormone replacement therapy (HRT), which aims to compensate for the drop in hormone levels.

HRT is a safe and effective treatment for most people going through perimenopause and menopause. Your doctor will assess the benefits and risks to ensure the treatment is suitable for your situation.

Other treatment options are available in the event of contraindications or if you choose not to use MHT.
