What the petition asks
Women around the UK are facing a major & widespread shortage of HRT products leaving them struggling with menopause symptoms & side effects such as depression, anxiety & night sweats. NICE estimates one million women in the UK use treatment for their symptoms with HRT being the main treatment.
Dr Short, a GP specialising in PMS & menopause said it's “a major and widespread issue affecting a large number of women”. Both doctors & pharmacists are in the dark about the reasons for the shortage & how long it’s likely to last." One supplier expects the shortage to continue until 2020.
It's simply not good enough that women are suffering when they don’t need to, HRT products are life savers for the women suffering with the many symptoms of the menopause. Help us sort this now!
