Is your medicine covered by an HRT PPC?

HRT PPCs do not cover all HRT medicines. If you use an HRT PPC to collect a medicine that is not covered, you may receive a penalty charge.

Check if the medication you need is covered

The medicines are listed A to Z by the product name. This is the brand name the manufacturer gives their medicine.

Generic versions of these medicines are also covered if the generic drug name shows on the prescription. The generic drug name is usually the name of the active ingredient in the medicine.

This list is correct as of 1 August 2024 and is subject to change.

You can find the name of your medicine on the prescription or the medicine packaging.

Yes, my HRT medicine is covered by an HRT PPC

No, my HRT medicine is not covered by an HRT PPC

Some of my HRT medicine is covered by an HRT PPC

Why some HRT medicines are not covered

HRT PPCs only cover HRT medicines that are also licensed to treat the menopause in the UK.

If your HRT medicine is covered but you take it for reasons other than the menopause, you can still use an HRT PPC.
