Increased menopause awareness means we may meet challenges in primary care that are not covered by NICE or other guidelines. This may present dilemmas and uncertainty. We may encounter patients who have been prescribed above-licence doses of HRT, or who are requesting increased doses due to persistent menopausal symptoms.
