Estriol Compounded - Vaginal Cream

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.

Estriol (E3)

Although considered the weakest of the three estrogens, estriol has potential protective properties against the production of cancerous cells. No American drugs contain estriol and, because it cannot be patented, it does not hold much interest for the pharmaceutical industry. Its availability through compounding has caused its use to grow rapidly throughout the country.
