Gap between changing HRT preps?
« on: July 13, 2021, 09:31:12 AM »

Hello - I'm looking for a bit of info and would appreciate any input.
I have recently come off Kliovance which I tailed off over a period of about 6 weeks.  I am going to start Femoston conti 1mg but I don't know how long to leave it between ending the Kliovance and starting the Femoston ?  I can't get a telephone appointment with my doctor for over 2 weeks to ask!  Would really appreciate any ideas or to know if others gave a gap between the two preparations.

Many thanks

Hi sweaty betty. You can start it as soon as you like. The advice on the Patient Information Leaflet (there should be one in the pack) says

"When to start taking Femoston-conti
Do not start taking Femoston-conti until at least 12 months after your last natural period.
You can start taking Femoston-conti on any convenient day if:
• you are currently not taking any HRT product
• you are switching from a “continuous combined” HRT product. This is when you take a tablet or use a
patch every day that contains both, an oestrogen and a progestogen."

Hope that helps.

Taz x  :)

Thanks so much for your reply Taz2- that's really helpful. 
I have managed to lose the patient info leaflet! (I lose everything these days! ::)). 

Thanks again
