important news for aussies taking HRT:

as of march 1st, prometrium (#progesterone), estrogel, and estrogel pro will be added to the PBS - this means you'll be able to get public scripts for them, which will be subsidised. see abc.net.au/news/2025-02-08/fed… for more.

the addition of prometrium is especially good news because progesterone was previously only available via PBS as a vaginal gel, and only under very specific conditions: pbs.gov.au/medicine/item/12465…
