Compounded Pharmacy for Hormone Replacement and Wellness Therapies
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is one of the most common uses of compounded medications, especially for patients seeking bioidentical hormone options. These formulations mimic the natural structure of human hormones, offering a customized approach to managing symptoms related to menopause, thyroid dysfunction, and adrenal imbalance. Compounded pharmacies prepare personalized doses in forms such as creams, capsules, lozenges, and injections.
Healthcare providers work closely with patients to determine the precise hormone balance needed, adjusting formulations over time as the patient’s condition evolves. Compounding allows for incremental dosage adjustments, which is especially important for sensitive hormonal systems. This individualized approach helps many patients achieve better symptom relief with fewer side effects.
