In light of the recent publicity on the BBC about higher dose HRT, we wish to assure you that we started reviewing this several months ago.
We have searched our systems for patients who are on doses above the maximum licence and contacted them directly.
If you think you are on a dose above the maximum licence (information below) and have NOT
been contacted by us already – please put in a new request using the online triage system and
we will be in contact.
The British menopause society statements are here:

The maximum licenced dose for oestrogen is:
- Oestrogel: 4 pumps
