Is it safe to smoke when taking conjugated sex hormones?


If you take conjugated hormones, avoid use of tobacco as the combination can increase your risk of blood clots, high blood pressure and stroke. If you are planning to have any type of elective surgery your doctor must be informed that you take sex hormones. To prevent blood clots, special precautions have to be taken during surgery. Sex hormones are not for use in children and thus, the medication must be stored in a safe place.
