Pills? There is HRT medicine which comes in pills?

[–] Mint@lemmy.one 26 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Yes, I don't know about masc HRT specifically, but estrogen comes in many different forms - needles,gel and pills

T is injection / patch / gel only, no oral.

[–] PopShark@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

I’m not trans myself and don’t know anyone that is but from my background in powerlifting my guess is this is because basically any oral testosterone is brutal for the liver to break down and process

[–] feminalpanda@lemmings.world 2 points 9 months ago

You can also get testosterone tablet implants.

Don’t forget about Estradot patches. It’s bioidentical like injections without the fuss. I don’t know about the US but I pay $6.80/month for mine.

Ask any post menopausal woman. (estrogen pills)

Or teenage girl with acne. (anti androgen pills(sometimes))

Trans women take both.

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Some T blockers, like spironolactone, can also come in pills, I believe.

[–] violetraven@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 9 months ago

That's how I used to take mine

[–] barsoap@lemm.ee 5 points 9 months ago

Why wouldn't there be?
