MHT patches escape PBS chopping block
The move has been welcomed by women’s health groups
A number of menopausal hormone therapy products have escaped removal from the PBS after a campaign by women’s health advocates.
It comes after drug company Sandoz, which supplies the only combined transdermal menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) patches in Australia, reached a deal with health officials last week, ending its threat to pull them from the PBS.
