In some countries, HRT is available without a prescription, though suitable formulations for trans people can be hard to find, with some containing high-dose cyproterone acetate or non-bioidentical estrogens like ethinylestradiol. Still, it may be worth seeing if HRT is available without prescription in a local pharmacy in your country, before you buy from the links above.¹

Additional disclaimer: Be sure to do your research on HRT sources before ordering, especially if they are not listed on hrtcafe.net or diyhrt.market. We are NOT affiliated with the hrtcafe.net or diyhrt.market websites, order at your own risk.
