A very common use for compounding pharmacy solutions is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). Hormones affect many areas of your health, including your mood, your metabolism, and your sexual and reproductive function. If your hormones become unbalanced, whether due to menopause or other factors, you may end up feeling like a stranger in your own skin. However, compounded hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a way to restore balance and help you feel like yourself again.
At Medicine Chest Pharmasave we offer a number of hormone replacement services. HRT is most often prescribed to ease the symptoms of menopause, but it also can be used to treat a variety of conditions that women of all ages may experience, including:
- Pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS)
- Irregular menstrual cycle
- Moodiness
- Infertility
- Post-partum depression
- Weight gain
- Endometriosis
- Fibrocystic breasts
- Sleep disturbances
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Decreased libido
- Painful sexual intercourse
- Vaginal dryness
Our compounding pharmacist can tell you that hormone replacement therapy isn’t just for women – many men can benefit from it too! Recent research has identified a number of common physical and emotional symptoms experienced by men as they age, including:
- Decreased libido, muscle mass, strength, and stamina
- Impotence
- Osteoporosis
- Heart disease
- Sleep disorders
- Depression
- Anxiety
No two people are alike, of course, and compounding pharmacists understand this fact. Come into the store for a consultation or visit the contact us with questions.
