Replacing hormones is a common treatment for women experiencing menopause, premenopause, or who have undergone surgery such as a hysterectomy.  Your Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy specializes in compounding bio-similar (also known as isomolecular) hormones to treat patients with these and other conditions.

Bio-similar hormones from yams differ from animal hormones in that they mimic the hormones the human body produces.  Animal hormones can work in patients and relieve symptoms, but their different chemical structure has been associated with side effects.

Men, particularly older men, can be affected by low hormone levels in conditions such as andropause causing fatigue, weakness, even osteoporosis. For these patients hormone replacement can improve their lives and relieve a number of symptoms.

In addition, compounded hormones can be carefully adjusted as part of a treatment regimen developed between you and your physician to find just the right dose for you.

Your Medicine Shoppe pharmacy is dedicated to helping you improve your health and well-being.  Call or visit us to learn more about how compounding can work as part of your hormone replacement therapy.
