Description
The menopause experience varies from individual to individual. Up to 75% of individuals will report some degree of menopause symptoms, where a quarter will be severe enough to seek treatment. However, many women are not getting the help they need and often suffer in silence. There is a great degree of stigma associated with menopause, while the ongoing fear of menopausal hormone therapy has remained a barrier to adequate care. Misinformation with menopause is rampant and women are especially vulnerable during this time. Women look to pharmacists for their help and support. This session will help you engage with patients to empower them with evidence-based information, so they do not suffer in silence.
