The UK HRT shortage has forced women to buy menopause drugs on the black market.A Conservative former minister denounced the shortage of hormone replacement therapy products as she told the Commons that access to the oestrogen gel "enables us to sleep and to work competently".

Mr Spencer replied: "I can say the Department of Health and Social Care is aware of the supply issues that are affecting a limited number of HRT products.However, most HRT products, including alternatives to those experiencing supply issues, are available.

This is true. There is plenty in France and was asked to bring some back for a friend. Sadly it's of course a prescription item. Apparently the cost had spiked due to import costs and exchange rate. I can feel the sticky hand of Brexit in this. Either way a national disgrace.
Surely there's not that many blokes taking it?
