Key points

  • Hormone therapy here spans several groups, including fertility, androgen, progesterone and oestrogen medicines, each tied to a different reproductive or endocrine goal.
  • Four of the twelve medicines here, Clomid, Provera, Estrace and Danazol Tablets, are also listed under Women’s Health.
  • Ten of the twelve medicines here are tablets; Cernos Gel is a gel sachet and Zyhcg is an injectable vial.
  • Medrol (methylprednisolone) is a corticosteroid here, listed for inflammatory conditions, allergic states and endocrine disorders rather than reproductive hormone therapy.

Clomifene, enclomiphene and other fertility medicines

Clomifene is the SERM in Clomid, listed for female infertility. Enclomiphene is the SERM in both Enclomisign and Androxal, listed for secondary hypogonadism at the same 50mg strength in each. Zyhcg contains human chorionic gonadotropin, listed for ovulation induction and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.

Androgens, progesterone and oestrogen

Cernos Gel contains testosterone, an androgen listed for male hypogonadism, and Mesterolone Tablets is a synthetic androgen for the same indication. Medroxyprogesterone acetate is the progesterone derivative in Provera, listed for secondary amenorrhoea and abnormal uterine bleeding, while Prometrium contains progesterone itself for secondary amenorrhoea. Estrace contains estradiol, an oestrogen listed for menopausal symptoms and postmenopausal osteoporosis.
