HRT Spray

What is HRT Spray?

HRT Spray contains an active ingredient, a type of oestrogen naturally produced by the body. HRT Spray is sprayed directly onto the skin where it is absorbed into the blood to increase oestrogen levels and reduce symptoms of the menopause such as vaginal dryness and hot flashes.

Each 6.5 ml bottle of HRT Spray contains 56 sprays. It is suitable for use by women who had their last menstrual bleed 6 months ago, those who have undergone a hysterectomy or it can be used by women who still have an intact uterus alongside a progesterone-only form of HRT.

How does HRT Spray work?

Menopause is caused by the natural drop in oestrogen levels in a woman’s blood when she ceases to produce eggs as she stops ovulating. It is this decline in oestrogen levels that produces the symptoms that are associated with menopause.

HRT Spray contains a type of oestrogen. When HRT Spray is sprayed onto the skin the hormone is absorbed into the bloodstream where it boosts the levels of oestrogen circulating through the body and effectively reduces symptoms.
