Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women
Millions of women count on bioidentical hormones for alleviation from menopausal difficulties, fertility issues, and hormonal imbalances. There are dozens of commercially available products that contain hormones. These products, however, come with limitations since they are approved for use over a broad population rather than the individual. Compounding allows us to take into account the specific needs of a patient. When evaluating for hormone therapy, we are able to customize the dose, dosage form, and route of administration. Tailoring medication to the individual gives us the ability to titrate the hormones appropriately. This allows us to obtain the desired clinical effect while minimizing side effects. Every woman is unique and will respond to therapy in her own way. Close monitoring and adjustments are essential.
