What HRT (Menopause) drug is best?

Bio-identical hormones.  Your body can synthesize those.  The synthetic hormones only block the body's receptors and they can lead to very serious problems.\n\nFor more info, read "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Premenopause" by John Lee, MD

They are caused by fluctuating and decreasing hormones as you go through perimenopause/menopause.  Soy phytoestrogen/isoflavones; increased consumption of vitamins B, C and E, as well as magnesium, calcium and potassium; avoidance of spicy foods, hot drinks, alcohol, and white sugars; herbs like ginseng, black cohosh, vitex agnus castus, blue cohosh, dong quai, wild yam root, licorice root, false unicorn, sarsaparilla, nux vomica and Evening Primrose Oil; topical progesterone creams; acupuncture; exercise; and traditional HRT prescriptions can all help.

Estratest tablets quell the flushing, sweating, "hot flashes," and vaginal irritation that trouble three-quarters of all women when they reach menopause. Estratest works by replacing some of the estrogen that is lost when the reproductive system shuts down. Although it relieves the physical symptoms of menopause, it won't help emotional symptoms such as depression if the physical symptoms are absent. It combines supplemental estrogen with a synthetic form of the male hormone testosterone, and is prescribed when estrogen alone fails to relieve menopausal symptoms.

Hormones don't help lose weight. A proper diet and the proper physical exercise does. Visit a personal trainer for the plan to best suit your needs based on your weight and active levels.\n\nAs far as regaining libido during menopause, estrogen re-uptake would be your best option here. I recommend looking into vitamins, most commonly labeled as Premarin or Cenestin. These vitamins will greatly aid during menopause. Please consult with your family physician for more information.\n\nBest of luck.

Evening Primrose is very good, but you might want to try a total EFA oil (omega 3, 6, and 9,evening primrose, and borage oil). My favorite Brand is Udos or Health From The Sun (both certified organic). You can call try black cohosh and chaste  berry (the later is a natural progesterone, which will balance out elevated estrogen. However, it should only used with the advice of a certified homeopath, holistic health practioner, or naturopath).

yes, type hormones replacement in search bar. My wife has her ovaries removed on the 22 of this month and she go on on them. If you want to learn more search the Internet and also talk to your Dr.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and smoking predispose you to a higher likelihood of blood clots than the average person.  Even if you were to get a blood clot very few of these clots actually cause a problem (pulmonary embolism) and even fewer cause serious complications from this problem (heart damage, pulmonary infarction, or death) especially for a 29 year old.  But there are certainly increased risks and those risks are not anything to ignore.\n\nYou have the power to stop the smoking...there's no time like now to start.  Believe me you will need to try more than once to get it right.  It is the single best thing you can do for your health.  \n\nAdditionally HRT is an elective medication.  There is virtually no absolute need for any woman to ever HAVE to take that medication.  \n\nYou have the power to change your lifestyle and habits.  There is no time like the present to begin.  Good luck.

U should get a prescription from an Oncologist. \nThe aromatase inhibitors have certain side effects for which your grandmother needs to be evaluated. They can cause bone thinning, so u should also give calcium supplements along with a weekly tablet called Osteophos.\nOtherwise they are available in Medical stores.\nBut please consult with u r treating doctor and start.

Fun wow! Been there, doing that. Get some HRT that works for you. Exercise. Watch your diet. Your thyroid goes amuck. I chose not to take the synthroid and really watched my diet. Silly as it sounds, for the sleep problem, I took/take 2 benadryl before I hit the sack. Read and read! There are lots of good articles on the net addressing this. I was lucky, I didn't get hit till I was 55, but then I also had a baby in my forties.....so go figure. Good luck!!!!

There is only one that does much of anything (soy does nothing).  Natural progesterone cream.  Have a hormone panel done.  Start using the cream.  Have the hormone panel done again, notice the dramatic change (along with the disappearance of symptoms).\n\nAlso, unlike HRT, natural progesterone cream is about as effective as Fosomax in remineralizing bone.  HRT (although WIDELY prescribed for that purpose) does NOTHING.\n\nJohn R. Lee is the authority on this.

Women's Tylenol works great for me. Besides that, the best thing is Motrin.

How old are you? You can seek help, and go through a process to get medical treatment. The only drug that will do what you want is hormones.

It depends on the type of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) you are on. If you are on stuff like Premarin or Prempro, I'd encourage you to explore other options. Those medications are made from pregnant horse urine and are NOT the same as your natural hormones. The studies that question the health risks of HRT ALL use those medications.\n\nHowever, if you are on bioidentical hormones and being followed by a gynecologist familiar with their use, then you are doing great and I encourage you to keep it up.\n\nAs to the use of feverfew in conjunction with HRT, I have not heard of any problems with combining the two. However, if you are currently taking Premarin/Prempro and switch over to bioidenticial hormones, you might not need the feverfew. A hormone imbalance is often the cause of migraines, so once you get your hormones straightened out, the migraines may not be an issue.\n\nAnother thought: have you tried cranio-sacral massage or chiropractics for your migraines? They have a good track record for that problem.
