One of the easiest and most common ways to take HRT (either in combination or with estrogen alone) is in tablet form. You just have to remember to take the pill once a day. Compound hormones aren't well studied and healthcare providers aren't sure about their long-term effects. The most effective way to treat the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause is to replace the hormones that the body already has does not produce.
However, choosing the right dosage and administration of HRT will be of great benefit in helping you effectively treat menopausal symptoms. This is a good start because hormonal hormone therapy is very effective in combating night sweats, hot flashes, mood changes, and more, and is generally very safe. If your symptoms bother you, ask your healthcare provider if you can adjust the dose or form of HRT to reduce side effects.
