Hi all,

I hope you are well. I am new here on this forum and I am just finding my way around it. I am not even sure if I using the forum correctly yet and if am posting in the right place/folder/subject . Apologies if I am not. I just wanted to ask if anyone here experienced any indigestion issues on systemic HRT (Femoston-conti) 0.5mg/2.5mg? If so did it go away over the time? I only started last night but experiencing a bad indigestion/heartburn. Thanks in advance. Regards, Olya x

Hi ON72

 

Yes you're posting in the right place!! Well done!

I'm sorry I can't comment on oral HRT as I've never taken it but this can affect some women. If it persists then it may be that you need to try transdermal HRT. Here is the info about which route of HRT and the indications for non-oral HRT: https://www.menopausematters.co.uk/route.php

Indications for non-tablet route of Estrogen.

    Individual preference.
    Poor symptom control with tablet HRT.
    Side effects such as nausea with tablet.
    Bowel disorder which may affect absorption of tablet therapy.
    History of migraine (when steadier hormone levels which may be achieved with a patch may be beneficial).
    Lactose sensitivity (all tablet preparations of HRT contain lactose).
    History of gallstones.
    Current use of medications such as anti-epileptic medication which may interfere with the break-down of tablet HRT.
    Variable blood pressure.
    High triglyceride levels.
    Risk factors for deep vein thrombosis including Body Mass Index greater than 30, family history or past history of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolus, after full discussion and specialist advice when necessary. Because risk of deep vein thrombosis increase with age, non-tablet route should also be considered when HRT is continued over the age of 60.


Hope the indigestion settles and that the hRT does what you want it to!
