Another treatment to help people to manage the symptoms of menopause is available from today.

Estrogel will now be available for those requiring oestrogen to meet rising demand for hormone replacement therapy.

The other funded patch option is in global short supply.

Menopause specialist Dr Linda Dear says Estrogel will make a massive difference for patients, doctors and pharmacists.

She says having another option out there means we're not so dependent on patches anymore, which is good news for a lot of people.

Pharmac funding's also taking effect for a suite of new treatments, for various cancers and other medical conditions.
