If you're hesitant to begin with the full prescribed dose of HRT cream, it's important to understand that our physicians follow a "low and slow" approach, gradually adjusting the dosage as needed based on your symptoms.

The initial dose is carefully determined to balance effectiveness and safety. While you may feel inclined to start with less, doing so may delay or reduce the benefits of the medication. Taking the full prescribed dose as directed by your physician will help you achieve optimal results more efficiently.

However, if you decide to take a lower dose than prescribed—such as using one pump instead of two—it's essential to inform your physician. Please send your doctor a message through the Patient Portal to let them know, as this adjustment will affect both the frequency of your medication refills and the timeline for expected results.

Keeping your physician informed ensures that they can make appropriate adjustments to your treatment plan as needed. It's equally important to communicate any changes in symptoms or concerns you may have.

If you notice new or returning symptoms, don't hesitate to reach out via the Patient Portal. Your doctor is your best resource for answering questions about your medication, its effects, and what to expect during treatment.

Effective communication with your healthcare provider is key to a successful treatment experience.
