HRT Support Pessaries

What are HRT Support Pessaries?

Normally women would use oral capsules as part of their HRT regime. Currently, there is a shortage of this product. However, during this time to avoid interrupting the HRT treatment we are sourcing other versions so that you can continue with your treatment.

Though these pessaries are normally used for IVF. They can be used in an identical fashion to other ingredient to protect the lining of the womb while you are using oestrogen.

Though this is off-label it is a common way of supporting women when there is a medicines shortage in the supply chain.

How does HRT Support Pessaries work?

When taking oestrogen alone it causes the cells of the lining of the womb, the endometrium, to thicken, which can lead to some women developing cancers of the womb. Taking HRT Support Pessaries opposes this process, causing the womb lining to shed every month, just like during a menstrual bleed, lowering the risk of developing cancer.

Is HRT Support Pessaries a contraceptive?

HRT Support Pessaries is not a form of contraception.
