Kiwi women have been forced to shop around or ration their existing HRT supply amid an ongoing shortage.

A new survey has revealed insights from the women affected by the dwindling supply, and Pharmac has warned the situation is likely to continue into 2025.

"The really big issue here in New Zealand is - there's no other option. So it's either patches or nothing that's funded."
