Safe, personalised hormone replacement therapy (HRT) from Irish-registered doctors, online, discreet, and delivered to your local pharmacy
Menopause symptoms like hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings, and disrupted sleep can significantly impact your quality of life.
At smartscripts.ie, we provide personalised, evidence-based Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) prescribed by Irish-registered doctors. Your treatment is tailored to relieve symptoms, restore hormonal balance, and help you feel more like yourself again, comfortably, safely, and discreetly.
Common menopause symptoms treated by HRT:
Menopause is a natural stage in a woman’s life, marking the end of menstrual cycles as the ovaries gradually produce less oestrogen and progesterone. It usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, though some women experience it earlier due to medical conditions or surgery.
HRT provides targeted relief by supplementing the hormones your body is no longer producing adequately. It significantly improves menopause-related symptoms, restoring quality of life and well-being.
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) helps relieve menopause symptoms by replacing the hormones, mainly oestrogen and progesterone, that naturally decline as you approach menopause.
By restoring these hormone levels, HRT helps balance your body’s functions and reduces symptoms.
Important note: Every woman’s needs are different. Your doctor will determine the most suitable type of HRT, dosage, and route (tablet, gel, or patch) based on your age, symptoms, and medical history.
Femoston Conti
A continuous combined HRT tablet that contains both oestrogen and progesterone, designed for women who are postmenopausal (no periods for 12 months or more). It helps maintain hormone balance and prevent breakthrough bleeding.
Oestrogel
A transdermal oestrogen gel applied to the skin once daily. It’s absorbed directly into the bloodstream, providing a flexible, well-tolerated alternative to tablets, and is often paired with Utrogestan for women who still have a uterus.
Utrogestan
A body-identical progesterone capsule is used in conjunction with estrogen (such as Oestrogel or patches) to protect the uterine lining and support a natural hormonal balance. It can be taken orally or vaginally, depending on your plan.
Novofem
A sequential HRT tablet containing oestrogen and progesterone taken in a 28-day cycle, suitable for women still experiencing occasional periods (perimenopause). Helps regulate cycles while reducing menopause symptoms.
Evorel Conti
A combined HRT patch that delivers oestrogen and progesterone through the skin. It offers a convenient, low-maintenance option with steady hormone levels and fewer gastrointestinal side effects.
A registered Irish doctor reviews all prescriptions to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
In Ireland, most women start hormone replacement therapy (HRT) when menopause symptoms, such as hot flushes, night sweats, mood changes, or vaginal dryness, begin to affect daily life. HRT is generally most effective when started within the first 10 years of menopause or before age 60. A registered Irish doctor will assess your suitability for HRT to ensure it is safe and tailored to your needs.
While the primary goal of HRT is to relieve menopause symptoms, research shows it can also help maintain bone density, reducing the risk of osteoporosis, a condition that affects many women in Ireland post-menopause. Some women also report improved sleep quality, mood stability, and overall well-being. However, the benefits should always be weighed against individual risks, which your doctor will discuss with you.
Yes, at smartscripts.ie we offer discreet, secure online consultations with Irish-registered doctors. If HRT is suitable for you, your prescription can be sent to your preferred pharmacy in Ireland for collection or delivery. This saves time, avoids long GP wait times, and ensures you can access treatment quickly.
For women who cannot take HRT or prefer not to, alternatives may include lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, and non-hormonal prescription medicines. Regular exercise, a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, and avoiding triggers like caffeine or alcohol can help reduce symptoms. Herbal remedies and supplements are available, but their effectiveness varies; therefore, it is recommended to discuss their use with a healthcare professional before use.
