Can Qlaira Also Be Used As An HRT?

I am a 50 year old woman who has not had a period in over a year.I experience at least 4 night sweat a night and a few hot flushes in the day. My doctor has prescribed Qlaira to me. On buying the product I realised it is the contraceptive pill. Did he make a mistake in prescribing it or can it also be used as HRT. ?

It used mainly for contraception and to regularize mensrual bleeding.
It can be used for hormonal replacement therapy HRT.
Take care.
