  "question": "Duavee vs Bijuva: different ingredients, different combinations",
  "answer": "Duavee combines conjugated estrogens with bazedoxifene; Bijuva combines estradiol with progesterone. They are not brand-versus-generic versions of one medicine. Both have a menopause hot-flash role in women with a uterus, but the ingredients and label scope differ.",

  "editorial_decision_notes": "Start by asking which combination the clinician proposes and what problem it is intended to address. Do not add a separately purchased component to either combination simply to make an ingredient list look alike. Ask the insurer to assess each named product rather than the vague category “HRT.” A comparison can identify formulation and access differences without claiming the two products were tested against each other. Request a written explanation if the clinician favors one, then price that complete plan.",
