Pharmacy Care Solutions - Hormone Replacement

Hormone Replacement Therapy

More than 30 million women are menopausal. An additional 29 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
do not always account for the unique differences between individuals. There
is another option, though: hormone therapy designed specifically for your
body.

Hormone replacement therapy is most often used for menopause. Typical
symptoms of menopause may include hot flashes, vaginal dryness, low
libido, weight gain, irritability, moodiness and sleep disturbances. Yet any
woman who has experienced endometriosis, PMS, weight gain, low libido or
fibrocystic breasts may also benefit from BHRT.

Women have traditionally used synthetic estrogen therapy to treat menopausal symptoms and to help
protect against osteoporosis.

Compounded bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is customized to the individual and prepared from
plant-derived hormones that are biologically identical to those naturally occurring in women.

No two women are alike, of course, and the value of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is that it can
be adapted to fit your individual body and hormone levels. In fact, hormones can be made in a variety of
strengths and dosage forms including capsules, topical creams and gels, suppositories and sublingual
troches or lozenges.

With the help of a doctor and a compounding pharmacist, a woman can start and
maintain a bioidentical hormone replacement regimen that closely mimics what
her body has been doing naturally for years.

It's your body; why not give yourself the option of a customized, bioidentical
hormone therapy?

Let Pharmacy Care Solutions provide the right regimen specifically designed for
you.
