Hormone Replacement Therapy

During menopause, women may have lower levels of some hormones and experience hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and thin bones.

To help with these symptoms, some physicians prescribe hormones like estrogen or estrogen with a progestin or progesterone.

FDA has approved drugs for use in hormone therapy for menopause symptoms, and advises women who choose to use hormones to use them at the lowest dose that helps, for the shortest time needed.

Each woman’s body is different and has its own unique needs, but

commercially manufactured products tend to be “one-size-fits-all,” and do not always account for the differences between individuals.Compounding is the art and science of preparing customized medications for patients.

The advantage of compounded BHRT is that it can be adapted specifically to fit each individual’s body and hormone levels. Bio-identical hormones have the exact chemical structure as the hormones in the human body. The body recognizes them and allows them to mimic the function of the hormones the body produces on its own.
