Lenzetto Spray warnings

Please read the Patient Information Leaflet carefully before using Lenzetto Spray.

Applying any form of HRT treatment, including Lenzetto Spray, increases your chance of developing specific health conditions. If you have any questions or concerns you should discuss these with your GP or specialist.

Your eligibility to purchase Lenzetto Spray on repeat prescription from The Independent Pharmacy relies upon you attending an annual check-up with your GP, which should include a breast screen, blood pressure, blood tests and a cervical smear test.

• If you still have an intact womb your doctor should prescribe you a form of HRT that contains a version of the hormone progesterone to use alongside Lenzetto Spray to reduce your risk of developing certain cancers.
• Lenzetto Spray may not be an appropriate treatment option for everyone. You should not use this product if you have ever had or are at risk of oestrogen-sensitive cancer, a blood clot, have a blood clotting disorder or have liver disease.
• Discuss with your GP before using Lenzetto Spray if you have fibroids, endometriosis, have high blood pressure, diabetes, gallstones, SLE, epilepsy, asthma, kidney problems, suffer from migraines as HRT can make these conditions worse.
• Speak to a doctor or pharmacist before using Lenzetto Spray if you are currently taking or have recently stopped taking any other prescribed or non-prescribed medicine including herbal remedies such as St John’s-Wort.
• Lenzetto Spray contains alcohol making it flammable. Avoid smoking or naked flames when using this product to avoid burns.

Lenzetto Spray and cancer

Lenzetto Spray, like other oestrogen-only HRT, raises your risk of contracting cancers of the womb. Lenzetto Spray, can consequently, only be used by women who do not have an intact womb or who are prescribed a progesterone HRT alongside it to decrease these risks.

Using all HRT slightly increases your chances of developing breast cancer or ovarian cancer and therefore you must continue to attend an annual health review and regularly check your breasts for any changes including lumps and dimples. If you notice any irregularities you should get these checked by a doctor as soon as possible.

Lenzetto Spray in pregnancy & breastfeeding

Lenzetto Spray is only suitable for women experiencing menopause and should not be taken as a contraceptive or when pregnant. If you have had a menstrual period within the last 12 months you should use additional contraception. If you think you have become pregnant while taking Lenzetto Spray you should speak to a doctor for advice.
