It is suitable for elderly patients suffering from hypogonadism, women in menopausal transition and patients with deficiency of growth hormone. HRT is considered to be a more efficacious treatment in comparison to its alternatives such as chemical drugs, herbal medicines, etc. However, there are some harmful effects of HRT such as indigestion, nausea, fluid retention, swelling, etc. Prolonged consumption of HRT drugs may also increase the risk of blood clots.

Market Trends:

A rise in the prevalence of hormonal imbalance disorders in neonatal as well as elderly population is the major growth-inducing factor for the market. Apart from this, HRT is considered to be effective in treating the symptoms of menopause like night sweats, vaginal dryness, hot flashes and sexual function. Moreover, HRT helps in improving the quality of life and minimises the risk of cardiovascular diseases, colorectal cancer, vasomotor symptoms and osteoporosis. Further, advancements in technology, such as the introduction of transdermal drug delivery and new gel-based formulations, along with an increase in R&D investments by the manufacturers are providing a thrust to the market growth. Increasing awareness among the consumers, direct selling campaigns by the players, population aging and sedentary lifestyles are some of the other drivers boosting the demand for hormone replacement therapy.
