Does bioidentical hormone therapy stop hot flushes?

Yes, regulated bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can stop or reduce hot flushes, but unregulated compounded products are not recommended due to safety concerns.

Clinical Context

Women are encouraged to use only regulated, prescribed HRT products available from NHS or licensed pharmacies to ensure safety and efficacy. Specialist menopause clinics can provide guidance on the best options.

Evidence-Based Approaches

NICE and MHRA recommend regulated HRT as the gold standard. Compounded bioidentical hormones are not supported due to lack of standardisation and regulatory oversight. See NICE menopause guidance.
