A simple law change around prescribing could help ease the treatment crisis facing many women going through the menopause, the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) says.
Some are now struggling with untreated symptoms due to shortages of some types of hormone-replacement therapy (HRT).
Women who rely on the medicine have reported feeling suicidal without it.
The RPS wants pharmacists in England to be able to alter GP prescriptions and make medicine swaps when appropriate.
