Estradiol Compounded - Vaginal Suppository

Description

HORMONES

For both women and men, hormonal imbalances can wreak havoc with mood, relationships, and quality of life in general. • As awareness of hormonal-related problems has grown, so has the mass production of pills, patches and creams to treat them; • But each person’s body is different and has its own unique needs, and commercially manufactured products, which tend to be “one-size-fits-all,” don’t always account for that. • Compounding can customize solutions that fit your specific needs. • Our pharmacy partners with the innovators in compounding for HRT.

Traditional VS Bioidentical HRT

Synthetic hormones, such as Premarin and Provera, have traditionally been used for hormone replacement therapy. More recently, bioidentical hormones have grown in popularity as the chemical structures of bioidentical hormones are identical to those produced by the human body. Because the chemical structure is identical, these hormones are often referred to as “bioidentical.” Experts believe this makes them more reliable and more predictable in the way they work.

Estradiol (E2),

Produced by the ovaries, estradiol is the principal estrogen found in a woman’s body during the reproductive years. Estradiol is very effective for the symptomatic relief of hot flashes, genitourinary symptoms, osteoporosis, psychological well-being and reduction of coronary artery disease. When estradiol is replaced using a sublingual tablet, pellet implant or percutaneous gel, it is not subject to first-pass metabolism by the liver, and therefore does not produce high levels of estrone. Using these routes of administration, a woman can mimic the physiologic release of estradiol from the ovaries.
