HRT patches may be safer than tablets researchers suggest
Hormone replacement therapy delivered through a skin patch instead of a tablet may be safer for women, doctors have suggested as research shows it does not increase the risk of stroke. A study has found that women who use low doses of HRT through a patch to combat the symptoms of the menopause are at no greater risk of suffering a stroke than those not using the medication. In contrast women taking HRT tablets were on average 28 per cent more likely to have a stroke than those not on HRT, the study in the British Medical Journal found.
