An increasing number of women are learning about
bio-identical hormone replacement therapy to help alleviate
the symptoms of menopause that affect quality of life.
You may already be prescribing BHRT in the form of estradiol
(Estrace® tablets or cream, Estraderm® patch
or Vagifem® tablets), or progesterone (Prometrium®
capsules). Compounded BHRT can incorporate these two
hormones along with Estriol (E3), and Testosterone in
any combination of dosage forms and strengths that are
scaleable and customizable.
We invite you to learn more about custom compounds if
your patients experience
hormone related symptoms or problems such as:
- Depression
- Dysmenorrhea (cramps)
- Fibrocystic breasts
- Hot flashes
- Endometriosis
- Insomnia or disturbed sleep
- Irregular menstrual periods
- Mood swings
- Night sweats
- Osteoporosis
- Painful intercourse
- Poor concentration or memory lapses
- Premenopausal symptoms
- Reduced libido
- Vaginal thinning/dryness
- Weight gain
|
The ultimate goal of any BHRT is to
provide an adequate supply of the deficient hormone
in a form as close as possible to the original hormones,
resulting in normal physiologic effects. BHRT can
help:
- Alleviate the symptoms caused by the natural decrease
in hormone production
- Give the protective benefits originally provided
by naturally occurring hormones
- Re-establish a hormonal balance
|
An important benefit to using compounded
BHRT is that dosage strength can be modified to meet
each individual patient's needs. Often, hormones can
be combined into a dosage form that best suits the patient’s
body type and lifestyle.
- Transdermal cream, gel or ointment
- Regular or slow release capsules
- Flavored lozenges or sublingual drops
- Suppositories
