Key points

  • Combined HRT contains oestrogen and a progestogen, while oestrogen-only HRT does not.
  • HRT comes in several forms, including tablets, patches, gels and local vaginal preparations.
  • Provera, Duphaston and Progesterone Capsules are progestogen medicines listed for amenorrhoea, uterine bleeding or related hormone conditions rather than menopause symptoms directly.
  • Estrace and Tibofem, by contrast, are listed for menopausal vasomotor symptoms and postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Estrace and Tibofem for menopausal symptoms

Estradiol is the ingredient in Estrace, listed for menopausal vasomotor symptoms, atrophic vaginitis and postmenopausal osteoporosis. Tibofem contains tibolone, listed for the same vasomotor symptoms and postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Provera, Duphaston and Progesterone Capsules for other hormone conditions

Medroxyprogesterone acetate is the ingredient in Provera, listed for secondary amenorrhoea, abnormal uterine bleeding and endometrial hyperplasia. Progesterone itself, in Progesterone Capsules, is listed for secondary amenorrhoea and endometrial hyperplasia. Duphaston contains dydrogesterone, listed for progesterone deficiency, endometriosis and threatened miscarriage.
