Informed Consent
I understand that the medications that will be discussed with the Vivo HRT medical staff are of an elective nature, and never to be used in replace of medical evaluation through a qualified primary care physician for the treatment of a life threatening illness. I understand that there are risks to all medications including medications for Hormone Replacement Therapy. The risks associated with taking hormones include but are not limited to the possibility of an increased risk of cancer, blood clotting, stroke or heart attack. I accept and understand these risks and feel comfortable discussing these issues with the Vivo HRT team, and I wish to proceed with consultation and care. I also attest that I will not withhold medical information from the Vivo HRT team. I understand that my provider will do everything he/she knows to decrease and minimize all risks of HRT, and I agree to follow the ultimate advice, protocols, and recommendations of my Vivo HRT team. I understand that Hormone Replacement Therapy is very individualized and that there are no guarantees that these measures will be effective and I am participating in this therapy with that understanding. I accept all the risks and unknowns of taking hormone therapy and wish to have my provider consult, diagnose, prescribe, and guide me through this therapy for me.
