Maybe if she is carefully monitored by a doctor, and getting preliminary blood work done. I don't think blood work is done for a patient that doesn't fit a high risk profile, but maybe it should be. I hate to say this, but when a man needs to go on a certain medication he usually gets all the testing done that he wants. Women are not always treated equally. I take issue with that. for instance , there is a psa test for prostate cancer that is readily administered to men. There is and equal version of that for women to screen for ovarian cancer but insurance companies won't cover it.
