The menopause and perimenopause can affect sleep, mood, energy, concentration and much more, and every woman’s experience is different. At Putney Pharmacy, our Menopause Clinic offers a private consultation with our Independent Prescriber, who can assess your symptoms, talk through your options and, where clinically appropriate, prescribe treatment.

Depending on your symptoms and medical history, treatment may include hormone replacement therapy (HRT) as patches, gels or tablets, or local treatments for vaginal and urinary symptoms. HRT is not suitable for everyone, for example women with a history of breast cancer, so our prescriber will check carefully that any treatment is safe for you.
If you start treatment, we will arrange a review 3 months later to check how you are getting on and make any adjustments.
A Menopause Clinic consultation costs £150. The cost of any prescribed medicines varies depending on the treatment, and will be discussed with you before you decide to go ahead.
The Menopause Clinic runs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays during our usual pharmacy opening hours.
