Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy for Prescribers
For both men and women, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can be a key element to maintaining their overall health and well-being, especially as they age. At APS Pharmacy, we offer a wide range of HRT options in hormone types, dosages, and delivery systems to help your patients with their HRT needs.
Since hormones play a role in so many of the body’s basic functions—including digestion, mood, brain function, and libido—a drop in hormone levels may cause an array of problems ranging from minor wellness issues to more serious medical concerns. For your patients with low or imbalanced hormone levels, HRT may help to replace the hormones their bodies aren’t producing and to balance the hormones that affect menopause and andropause symptoms.
For women, HRT may help with:
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Vaginal dryness
- Sleep problems
- Fatigue
- Weight gain
- Foggy thinking
- Loss of bone density
- Heart Health
For both men and women, HRT may help with:
- Sexual dysfunction
- Muscle and strength loss
- Mood disorders
With your understanding of your patients and their various needs, you can recommend a hormone replacement therapy program that’s best suited for each individual patient. And of course, our pharmacist team is always happy to answer any questions you or your patient might have.
At APS Pharmacy, our pharmacists are experts at compounding Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) into patient-specific compounds for hormone replacement therapy. Among some of the APIs we compound with are: testosterone, estradiol, estriol, anastrozole, and many more. Our APIs can be compounded into several dosage forms, including injectables, creams, troches, and rapid dissolve tablets. Contact a pharmacist today to discuss options for your patients.
