Bio-Identical Hormones have the exact chemical structure as those produced in the human body. The body recognizes them and allows them to mimic the function of the hormones the body produces on its own. They utilize existing metabolic pathways for elimination. Bio-Identical Hormones include pregnenolone, estradiol, estriol, progesterone, testosterone and DHEA (prasterone).
Physicians use hormone restoration therapy to alleviate symptoms that occur from hormone depletion or imbalance. Conditions associated with hormonal depletion or imbalance include:
-
menopause
-
andropause
-
premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
-
peri-menopause
-
estrogen dominance
-
Irregular or heavy menstrual flow
-
hot flashes
-
night sweats
Several commercial products available contain bio-identical hormones. Examples are estradiol trans-dermal patches, DHEA vaginal suppositories, oral progesterone immediate release capsules and testosterone intramuscular injections.
If needed, these hormones can also be compounded into more individualized doses, dosage forms and combinations for a specific patients. Working with you and your physician, our specially trained staff of pharmacists and licensed technicians can prepare hormones in a variety of strengths, combinations and dosage forms using FDA and USP registered active pharmaceutical ingredients.
