What Is Perimenopause Treatment?

Perimenopause treatment consists of prescription hormone medications such as estradiol and progesterone that are prescribed to women who need help with symptoms related to perimenopause - similar to hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Perimenopause is a complex disorder that is increasingly recognized as the cause for a variety of symptoms in women ages 30 and up, including hot flashes, mood disorders, insomnia, night sweats, joint pain, cognitive symptoms, migraines, and more. Perimenopause medication treatment is thought to work by helping a woman restore hormones that might have decreased during perimenopause in order to achieve symptom relief.

Perimenopause Medications - Dosage and Cost

The types of hormones used during perimenopause treatment typically vary in dosage and the regimen used. Many perimenopause hormones are applied transdermally or taken orally. Perimenopause treatment medications are considered relatively affordable as some of the medications are available in generic versions. Additionally, some insurance plans may help cover costs associated with perimenopause treatment prescriptions when buying perimenopause medications at a pharmacy.

Can I Buy Perimenopause Medications Online?

Perimenopause treatment medications - especially hormone-based ones - require a prescription to be dispensed by a pharmacy in the United States. As a result, perimenopause medications are not available OTC (over the counter) and one cannot just buy perimenopause medications online without first getting a prescription from a licensed medical provider. Women who might need perimenopause treatment, however, can use Push Health to connect with a medical provider who can prescribe perimenopause medications when appropriate to do so.

Perimenopause - Lifestyle Modifications

Lifestyle and diet modifications may also be beneficial in helping with perimenopausal symptoms.

Perimenopause Treatment - Side Effects

Prescription medications used for treating perimenopause symptoms can cause side effects when used. Before using medications to help with perimenopause symptoms, it is important to discuss potential side effects and other concerns with a qualified medical provider. Perimenopause medications and alcohol should generally not be used together. People with a hypersensitivity or allergy to perimenopause medications will need to discuss alternatives with their medical provider.
