Committee Recommendations (1)

06 May 20 - Surrey & North West Sussex Area Prescribing Committee (formerly Prescribing Clinical Network)

The Surrey & North West Sussex Area Prescribing Committee updated their recommendations in line with NICE guidance NG23 Menopause diagnosis and management in May 2020.

Non-hormonal lubricants are not recommended for menopausal symptoms and a NON FORMULARY traffic light status has been agreed. Please refer to the Menopause -NG23 briefing paper attached below for further information (Page 16).  Non hormonal moisturisers and lubicants can be used as an alternative where HRT is not  clinically appopropriate but these are not as effective as oestrogen therapy. These products are available Over the Counter (OTC)
