No two women are alike, as compounding pharmacists and woman we aptly understand this notion. The drug industry has developed new formulations to treat problems discussed above, but they have done so with a “one size fits all” approach. Compounding pharmacists have the ability to work with healthcare professionals and the patient to provide formulations that are specifically designed for you, the patient. Compounded pharmacists can provide a hormone evaluation form for the patient to fill out. Your healthcare provider can preform a saliva or blood test and we can then assist them in interpreting the results. The healthcare provider, pharmacist and patient can then use the result to determine a course of treatment which will provide the patient with a custom made hormone treatment therapy.
