HRT shortages

HRT shortages continue unfortunately.

Note Oestradose gel is the equivalent of Oestrogel which is in short supply at present. Unfortunately more expensive and not available on the GMS, but a useful short term option for many women. Thanks to @the_menopause_pharmacist for providing up to date information on HRT product availability in Ireland. 

In general, it is possible to find an equivalent HRT product if your regular medication is unavailable for a short duration. It is unfortunate that women are finding themselves having issues with medication supply and hopefully the situation should be rectified in the near future.
