Hormone Therapy
This category covers testosterone replacement and the medicines that act on oestrogen: two block oestrogen receptors in some tissues, two lower the amount of oestrogen the body makes, and one is the newer isomer of an older fertility medicine. All of them need a doctor’s supervision and blood tests.
