The transdermal route, used in 85% of cases in France, does not appear to be associated with this increased risk, according to the research.

A large Danish study confirms that hormone therapy for menopause administered orally carries an increased risk of blood clot formation, according to Le Monde.
By contrast, transdermal administration of hormone therapy, which accounts for 85% of cases in France according to the newspaper, does not appear to be associated with this thrombosis risk.
Le Monde does not specify, in the available excerpt, the exact size of the cohort studied or the quantified extent of the increased risk observed for the oral route.
The distinction between routes of administration is presented by the newspaper as something already known to specialists, which this new study reinforces with large-scale data.
Health authorities were not cited as having issued new recommendations following this publication, based on the information reported.
