If you are one of the almost 2 million women in the UK currently prescribed Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), then there is a ‘little advertised’ fact that I’d like to share with you.
Did you know you are entitled to cheaper HRT?
In April 2023, the government released details of an HRT pre-payment certificate. The cost is £19.30 for the year as opposed to £9.30 (at time of writing) for each prescription.
Not every HRT product is covered however, although the majority of the widely used prescriptions are. The website gives you details of what is covered.
The pre-payment gives you a certificate which you just need to show to the pharmacist when you’re collecting your items.
The link to apply for your pre-payment certificate is:
Please note this is only available in England. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are not included in the scheme.
If you are struggling with the menopause, or would like advise and a plan to help you through. Drop me a message, I'd love to hear from you.
