If I start menopause hormone therapy, how long would I take it?

There is no universal expiration date. Treatment can continue during and after menopause while it provides useful symptom relief, remains medically appropriate and its benefits and risks are reviewed.

Starting does not mean committing to the same prescription indefinitely.

At MedFIT, the approximately 12-week follow-up rhythm provides opportunities to discuss how treatment is working. That schedule is not a deadline for treatment to end. Your preferences and changes in your health also belong in the decision.

Next: Ask Valerie what you will reassess over time when deciding whether to continue, change or stop.
