There are risks associated with the use of HRT of any type, the risk is not lessened just because one has a brand name, nor is it suddenly a higher risk if one is a generic version.

As long as you are aware of the possible risks, they remain the same, whether you use a generic, or a name brand.

Are there any other questions?
