Scottish Medicines Consortium accepts Theramex’ Bijuve HRT on NHS Scotland
13 September 2022 - The first and only body identical HRT for post-menopausal oestrogen deficiency, Bijuve, has been passed by the SMC as suitable for use by Scotland’s National Health Service, after being advised by the NHS Boards and Area Drug and Therapeutics Committees.
Developed by the women’s health company, Theramex, Bijuve combines oestradiol and progesterone in an oral capsule for single daily dose. It is hoped it will serve to address the considerable unmet needs of post-menopausal women, and not just in Scotland.
