Study.

Conversely, stroke and heart attack risks were limited to prolonged use of high-dose oral hormone therapy, while transdermal hormone therapy (delivered via the skin as patches, gels, or sprays) showed no general increased blood clot risk.

regardless of dose or duration

Sounds fishy.

    it is. just read the article and following study. it not only described dose and duration was directly relevant it goes onto tell on itself how they didnt take any effort to also study lifestyle habits let alone acknowledging the known link between smoking and clots while on hrt which has been already an established for decades.

    they also footnoted it with "this is purely observational".

    it reads like someone clumsily misused an AI prompt and slapped a 'study' label on it.

    The risk as i understand it from the act of dissolving the capsule. I infer that it's equivalent risk for each capsule regardless of the per-capsule dose or how long you've been taking the capsules.

    It would be equivalent of saying "plugging random USB sticks into a PC can be dangerous regardless of the reported capacity of the drive or how often you've plugged in a random stick and not been the victim of a ransomware attack."
