Hormone therapy for menopause, prescribed online in Rhode Island

Is online hormone therapy available in Rhode Island?

Yes. Pallas serves Rhode Island and all 50 states plus Washington, D.C.. Every clinician who treats Rhode Island patients holds an active license from the Rhode Island Board of Medical Licensure and Discipline, and partner pharmacies ship to every Rhode Island ZIP code. Rhode Island requires one live video visit to start care.

What hormone therapy is

Through perimenopause and menopause the ovaries make less estrogen, and the drop is what drives hot flashes, night sweats, broken sleep, mood swings, and vaginal dryness for many women. Hormone therapy is prescription estradiol or estriol — through the skin as a cream or a patch, or applied locally as a vaginal cream — usually paired with progesterone for women who have a uterus, prescribed to help manage those symptoms.

For women who still have a uterus, systemic estrogen is generally prescribed together with a progestogen to protect the uterine lining. Pallas prescribes progesterone — in the Biest cream, which combines it with estrogen, and as capsules — and your clinician decides which plan, if any, fits your history. The estradiol vaginal cream is a local preparation and is typically considered without one.

Forms, safety, and risks are on the hormone therapy program page.

Telehealth rules for hormone therapy in Rhode Island

Prescribing for a resident of Rhode Island requires a clinician licensed there, and every Pallas clinician who treats Rhode Island patients holds an active license from the Rhode Island Board of Medical Licensure and Discipline. Estradiol, estriol, and progesterone are not controlled substances, so the controlled-substance telemedicine rules don't apply; Rhode Island does require one live video visit to establish the provider-patient relationship before a first prescription, and ongoing care continues by secure message. Your prescription is filled by a US-licensed pharmacy, and some forms are compounded per-patient under FDCA §503A.

Nurse practitioner prescribing in Rhode Island: Independent prescriptive authority under sole Board of Nursing authority; no collaborative agreement or physician supervision (R.I. Gen. Laws §5-34-3; §5-34-49; verified 2026-10-26).

Also from Pallas: estriol face cream

A separate prescription cream for the face, not a form of hormone therapy: estriol, tretinoin, and niacinamide in one compounded cream, prescribed for the drier, thinner, less elastic skin that comes as estrogen falls. It has its own short intake. From $69.
