Hormone Management
We offer a distinct membership option for men and women who wish to optimize their hormones while continuing to see their existing primary care provider.
A compounding pharmacy is the oldest type of pharmacy. The compounding pharmacist is trained in formulating prescriptions from pure ingredients based on an order from a licensed healthcare provider, with whom they work closely to create a unique formulation for each patient.
What hormones are included in BHRT?
The most common hormones used in BHRT are estrogens (estrone, estradiol, and estriol), progesterone, DHEA, testosterone, pregnenolone, and the thyroid hormones.
Will my insurance cover these treatments?
Some insurance companies will reimburse a percentage of the cost of the medication to the patient. Once you purchase your medication, you can request a reimbursement form, which can be filled out and sent to your insurance company for reimbursement.
How will my healthcare provider know the right dose for me?
Your healthcare provider will consider your age, weight, symptoms, medical history, and use of hormones before deciding on a dosage form for you. They may then choose to do a saliva, urine, or blood test to identify specific imbalances of your hormones. Follow-up testing and regular monitoring may be necessary to adjust your dose. The North American Menopause Society recommends using these drugs for menopause symptoms at the lowest dose possible for the shortest time needed.
Types of Hormone Replacement Therapy
Estrogen
During menopause, women may have lower hormone levels and experience hot flashes and vaginal dryness as a result. To address these symptoms, your healthcare provider prescribes hormones like estrogen(s) with or without progesterone.
Progesterone
Progesterone is a natural, plant-derived hormone used to treat many conditions, including abnormal periods, aiding conception, maintaining pregnancy, and hormone replacement therapy
