A member asked:
When during the day is the best time to take hormone pills?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Any time is fine: Hormone pills - and i assume you mean estrogen and Progesterone for "hormone replacement therapy" - are absorbed through the intestine going immediately to the liver to be "detoxified" with some small amount making it through into your blood circulation - this is called the "first pass effect" of medications. This, not the time of day, is important.
