    Hormone replacement therapy can be used during menopause to help protect the heart and bones and maintain sex characteristics, but may increase risks of blood clots, breast cancer, and vaginal bleeding. Several drugs are available including estradiol and norethindrone acetate as estrogens and progestins, and raloxifene, clomiphene, testosterone, and sildenafil are also used to treat female and male reproductive issues or fertility. Nurses should be aware of the risks and routes of administration for these drugs.
