Hi! Good afternoon. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

You did not mention for how long have you been on this HRT. If you are already nearing one year, you should get yourself re assessed by your treating doctor for if you would be needing this medicine any more or not. Nausea and abdominal pain could be a side effect of these medicines, which could get gradually relieved. However, if I were your doctor, I would also advise you to get some basic blood tests like a CBC, blood sugar, and an LFT as these drugs are metabolised in the liver. In case of any abnormality I would advise you to consult your doctor for a possible discontinuation of this drug.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
