  • Title: [Evaluation of the risk-benefit ratio of hormonal replacement therapy for menopause and susceptible elements in maximizing compliance].
    Author: Lopes P, Mensier A.
    Journal: J Gynecol Obstet Biol Reprod (Paris); 1996; 25(7):694-8. PubMed ID: 8991903.
    Abstract:
    We recall that the rules of prescription of a hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) must involve compliance. The explanations of stopping HRT are multiple: denial of menopause, omitting to take the HRT by absence of immediate benefits, poor understanding of the interest of long term HRT, side effects and the fear of breast cancer. Information associated to the individual assessment of the balance between risks and benefits will allow improvement in compliance.
