There are several different forms of hormone therapies, including patches, pills and emulsions. While all hormone therapies have similarities, there are differences in dosage strength, delivery (patch, pill, gel, emulsion, or vaginal ring), indication (used for the treatment of menopause symptoms, such as vaginal dryness or hot flashes, and/or for osteoporosis prevention), regimen (combination therapy, estrogen-only therapy) and frequency (every day, twice a week, etc). Some therapies include a combination of hormones, while others may be estrogen or progestin only.
