  More Information about Hormone Replacement Therapy

Since Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is such a popular and interesting topic among women, there are plenty of resources available to determine if it is the right method of treatment for you.

There is of course a wealth of information on the internet. You can perform a simple search on any major search engine and find a huge amount of information sort through. Try to stick to legitimate sites, however, such as those posted by the Food and Drug Administration or another government or healthcare agency. The Food and Drug Administration’s site contains all the information about any specific drug you may have questions about, including Estrasorb and Prempro. If you have any questions about a drug or would like to research the different types of drugs available for treatment with HRT, check out that specific site. Be wary of sites that proclaim certain drugs are better than others or sites that offer no medical backing because you cannot be sure of the legitimacy of their information.

There are also several books and articles available about the subject of replacement therapy. You can visit your local library and check out the latest medical journal for specific articles and studies about replacement therapy. Medical journals are great sources of more technical information like specific drug studies and the results of drug testing. They are also great sources of information about upcoming drugs and new studies being done.

Another excellent source of information is a book about the subject. A couple of selections include Hormone Replacement Therapy Studies: A Reference Guide, by Sara Goulden, and The Prescriber’s Guide to Hormone Replacement Therapy, by Malcolm Whitehead. There are many books available covering a wide variety of subjects dealing with replacement therapy, from natural alternatives to the chemical composition of estrogen to the signs and symptoms of menopause.

The best person to consult for questions concerning the therapy is your doctor or other healthcare professional. Your doctor should be aware of any new information about the medication you are taking or new therapies for you to consider.
