}A new form of continuous combined hormone replacement therapy has become available that contains estradiol and drospirenone as the progestogen component. Drospirenone is a synthetic progestogen, the only one in hormone replacement therapy in the UK that possesses clinically relevant anti-mineralocorticoid activity. The combination of estradiol and drospirenone has been shown to provide relief from estrogen-deficiency symptoms of the menopause. It also helps to prevent osteoporosis in…

Phase III studies with E2/DRSP show that DRSP does not antagonize the well-documented reductions of blood pressure associated with E1; rather, small DRSP dose-related reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressures were observed, which should be beneficial for recipients, especially those who are mildly hypertensive.
