What are contraindications for BHRT?

Back to FAQs

While each patient is evaluated individually, common contraindications (reasons not to take the medicine) include:

  • Active or recent breast cancer,
  • certain uterine cancers,
  • known blood clotting disorders,
  • uncontrolled cardiovascular disease,
  • or severe liver dysfunction.

If you’re unsure whether you’re a candidate, a comprehensive blood panel and consultation with a Defy Medical provider can help determine your best options.
