Yeah, but they are still hormones, like the anti baby pill. So there is a risk for unregulated usage and imho a Medicine needs to talk with you about potential risks and dangers.
So a needed prescription (like for the anti baby pill) seems pretty legit to me.
But here are almost all more “severe” medicines, even anti-biotics, need a prescription.
So if you live in a country like the USA, where almost no medicine need a prescription(right ?), it seems also to be a legit point, to demand a free sale of HRT.
I am in the USA, but there are more medicines that require prescription than are over the counter, plan B and other somewhat normal contraceptives are largely over the counter and hormonal with (in the case of plan B) significant side effects.
