title: Compliance with hormonal replacement therapy.
abstract: One hundred post-menopausal women given HRT were reviewed 12 months after their first visit to determine their compliance with treatment. Sixty-one percent continued to take the therapy while 27% ceased. Most often the reason for ceasing HRT was return of bleeding but a number of women expressed fear of developing cancer or other long term complications.
