HRTMe helps you manage HRT you have been prescribed. It does not recommend or prescribe any medication. Always follow your doctor and the patient information that comes with your medicine, and ask your pharmacist if you are unsure.

Questions about HRTMe in the US
Can HRTMe remind me to change my Climara patch?
Yes. Pick Climara when you add your HRT and set the day you change it, and HRTMe reminds you on that day every week. Twice-weekly patches such as Vivelle-Dot and Minivelle work the same way: you pick your two change days.
Does HRTMe work with Prempro?
Yes. Prempro is set up as a tablet you take every day, with a daily reminder. Activella, Angeliq and Bijuva work the same way.
Can HRTMe remind me to take Prometrium only on certain days?
Yes. You set which days of your cycle you take it, often days 15 to 26, and HRTMe reminds you only on those days. Provera can be set up the same way.
How does HRTMe handle vaginal estrogen like Vagifem or Imvexxy?
Vaginal estrogen is often used every day at first and then twice a week. You set whichever your prescription says, and HRTMe reminds you on those days.
Does HRTMe tell me when to take my HRT?
No. HRTMe reminds you on the schedule your doctor gave you. It does not recommend, change or prescribe any medication. If you are unsure when to take a dose, ask your doctor or pharmacist and follow the patient information that comes with your medicine.
What if my brand is not listed?
You can still set it up yourself in the app: choose how often you take it and on which days, and HRTMe reminds you. Generic estradiol and progesterone are in the app too.
Is HRTMe available in the US?
Yes. HRTMe is on the App Store for iPhone, and it works with Apple Watch.
Don't see your brand, or on something unusual?
You can still set it up yourself. You decide how often you take each medicine and on which days, change the frequency or the dose at any point in your cycle, or schedule a break partway through, on cycles up to 90 days long. If your doctor changes your progesterone days or your dose, you update it in one place and every reminder moves with it. Read more about complex schedules in the FAQ.
