CASE STUDY: I was given too much HRT by a menopause doctor

This week, the Medical Minefield team speak to Paula Rastrick, who recounts the harrowing experience of being prescribed twice the maximum dose of oestrogen to treat what might have been perimenopause. Far from making her feel better, her life – and health – almost imploded, and she believes it was partly due to the drugs. The team also speak to Dr Philippa Kaye, a GP who specialises in women’s health, about the right, and wrong way to treat women going through hormonal changes.
