That's what it's all about.  Ask your current pharmacist what the ingredients are in your current medication (that's prescribed for menopausal symptoms), then read on.....

 Natural  means through the use of plant derived (yam) hormones that are like those that occur naturally in women .  And what than means to you is that you are receiving medication in the form necessary to allow you to receive it most effectively and with minimal side effects. 

How does it work?  No two women are alike, so no 2 women should be taking the same (exact) medication for combatting peri-menopausal or menopausal symptoms.  This is where the true value of compounding, in the area of natural hormone replacement therapy, really comes into play.  The medication can be easily adapted to your individual body and hormone levels such that you are getting exactly the combination required to balance your hormones again. 

How do you take hormone replacement medications?  Again, the beauty of Compounding is that we deliver the medication to you in a form that suits you.  Some of the forms that are available include topical creams & gels, suppositories and sublingual troches or lozenges.  The troches and lozenges can be made into any flavor you like (we've got over a 100 different flavors to choose from including chocolate).  Imagine, taking chocolate flavored medication!

Do I need Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy?  A great question!  If you're a woman over the age of 30 the answer may be yes.  Typical symptoms include hot flashes, PMS, vaginal dryness, low libido, weight gain, irritability, moodiness or sleep disturbances.  Any woman who has experienced any of these symptoms (and/or any of the following: fibrocystic breasts or endometriosis) should contact their physician or pharmacist, you may well be a candidate.... 

What's the benefit?  The benefits are different with every woman, and vary over time.  Some of the improvements we've noted include increased libido, lack of irritability, improved sleep habits (no more waking up every 30 minutes!), additional protection against osteoporosis, more energy, and a better balanced body (hormonally).

What's my next step?  There are a couple of options for women who are interested.  First, contact our Pharmacist (see the Contact page on this web site) and ask her!  She'll ask you about symptoms so be in a place where you are comfortable about discussing these matters.  For the hormone level test we can send you a saliva test (at no charge).  It includes instructions on how to complete it, the saliva is then sent to a labrotory  (a small fee is required for their services) for analysis.  The results are mailed back to our pharmacy for review by our Pharmacist.  She'll call you and discuss the results and will be available for your Doctor to confer with for the recommended solution.  This entire process may take 2 - 4 weeks to complete, so what are you waiting for? 

That more than 30 million women are menopausal and an additional 20 million more are within a few years of this personal transition.  As the number of women seeking hormone replacement therapy has grown, so has the mass production of pills, patches and creams by the drug industry.

Still, not all women are the same and commercially manufactured products don't always account for the unique differences between individuals.

There is another option though:  Hormone Replacement Designed Specifically For your Body!  Ask your Physician or me, Sharon, President and Pharmacy Director, today about Bio-Identical hormone Replacement Therapy.....  Isn't it time to restore hormonal balance to your life!
