Best suited to those who need more than 11 prescribed items in 1 year.
The hormone replacement therapy (HRT) PPC- £19.30
Best suites to those who need more then 2 prescribed HRT items in 1 year.
The HRT PPC is only for HRT medicines licensed to treat menopause symptoms, but you can use it regardless of why these medicines are prescribed for you. Find out more about the HRT PPC from the NHS Business Services Authority website.
