  • Yes, possibly. These medications slow down digestion, which can make it harder for your body to absorb oral HRT.

  • Consider switching to skin patches (transdermal) or other forms of HRT if you experience any changes in symptoms.

  • If you're taking progesterone, you may need a higher dose for a few weeks when starting or increasing your GLP-1 medication.

  • Let your healthcare provider know if you notice menopause symptoms returning after starting GLP-1 treatment.


🧠 What should I do next?

  • Talk to your healthcare provider if you use HRT

  • Let them know you're starting or using a GLP-1 medication.

  • They’ll help you stay safe and make any needed adjustments.
