As with all medications, the risk of side effects is compounded with age when starting HRT. For this reason, it's not recommended to start an HRT treatment plan for the first time after the age of 60.

If you have previously been on HRT before the age of 60 and wish to restart treatment, we recommend reaching out to your private doctor who may be able to help you continue your treatment plan in person.

Winona can only prescribe treatment plans to women ages 35 to 59.

If you do not have a provider, the American Menopause Society may be able to assist you to locate one in your area. You can learn more here.

Our medical journal also has several articles that include practical ways to decrease menopause symptoms without taking HRT. You can find those articles here.
