After the FDA removed warning labels from estrogen, more women are asking about hormone therapy.
Dr. Nora Lanson, the chief medical officer of Electra Health, says menopause hormone therapy has grown steadily over the last several years, and many women now use estrogen patches, which deliver the hormone through the skin, instead of taking oral estrogen pills.
This transdermal version of estradiol is

CVS says manufacturers have been unable to provide sufficient supplies of estrogen patches, and some manufacturers acknowledge shortages but do not provide a reason.
