Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is now available without a prescription for women aged 50 and over who have not had a period in at least a year.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has approved the reclassification of the HRT medication so that it can now be purchased at licensed UK Pharmacies over-the-counter under a pharmacist's supervision. The medication, known as Gina 10mcg Tablets, treats the symptoms of menopause (vaginal atrophy) which can include thinning, drying, and inflammation of the vaginal walls that may occur due to oestrogen deficiency.
What is HRT?
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) aims to treat the symptoms of the menopause by replacing the hormones in the body that naturally decrease during the menopause.
What is Gina 10mcg?
Gina 10mcg is a new medication used to treat the symptoms of vaginal atrophy in postmenopausal women aged 50 years and above, who have not had a period for at least 1 year.
Gina 10mcg contains the active ingredient estradiol, which is chemically and biologically identical to endogenous human hormone estradiol, a form of oestrogen.
What are the symptoms of vaginal atrophy?
Vaginal atrophy is the medical term referring to the thinning of the walls of the vagina caused by decreased oestrogen levels. Vaginal atrophy affects approximately 6 million postmenopausal women in the UK. During the menopause, the body no longer produces estradiol and progesterone. A deficiency in oestrogen can cause symptoms typical of the menopause. The most common symptom of vaginal atrophy is vaginal dryness which can lead to itching, burning, and soreness.
