by The global hormone replacement therapy market is driven by hormonal changes during menopause among women. Hormone replacement therapy or HRT helps relieve common symptoms associated with menopause like hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings and weight gain by replacing key hormones like estrogen and progesterone that decline during this phase. HRT products are available in various forms like pills, patches or creams that supply synthetic versions of estrogen and progestin.
