on the bbc article it states

The new combination therapy pill will cost £72 for a 28-day supply, NICE said.

It works by blocking specific hormones that contribute to the condition, while also providing replacement hormones that are needed.

Rugolex info says shouldn’t be used for more than 24 months and all the variants I googled say it contains lactose.

Not quite the miracle cure for us all huh?

I too would struggle with the progestin 🤦🏽‍♀️
