Women who cannot or choose not to take estrogens do have alternatives; however, the options are few and unproven in longterm clinical trials with respect to safety and efficacy. Many available alternative treatments may alleviate the symptoms of the menopause, but do not convey long-term protection against osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. This article reviews treatment alternatives to estrogen replacement therapy for symptomatic relief.
Anticholinergic psychosis was observed to follow ingestion of proprietary antidiarrhoeal preparations by a 63-year-old woman. Possible abuse or accidental overuse of such medicines in the acutely psychotic patient should always be considered.
The effect of Bellergal Retard (BR) on climacteric complaints was evaluated versus a placebo in an 8-wk double-blind study, followed by a 4-wk open study in which only BR was used as medication. There was a marked decrease in complaints in both the BR and the placebo groups. Statistically significant differences were observed between the groups after 2 and 4 wk of treatment, indicating superior results with BR. After 8 wk of study however, these differences were no longer apparent. It was concluded that studies on medication for climacteric complaints should not only be placebo-controlled, but also be of at least 8 to 12 wk duration for proper evaluation.
