Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy

Customized Replacement Therapy to Meet YOUR Needs

Menopause... all women go through it as one point in their lives. But because no two women are alike, they experience menopause differently. For some, symptoms may be inconsiderable, while for others, they may be intolerable. These symptoms are related to hormone imbalances. Traditionally, women have used conventional synthetic hormones for replacement therapy, but many have experienced unwanted side effects. Today, there is an alternative to these synthetic hormones and HB Apothecary has your solution. Upon authorization by your physician, natural hormones can be used to compound natural hormone replacement therapy (NHRT) medications, tailored to fit the individual body and hormone levels of each woman.

NHRT re-establishes hormonal balance to relieve symptoms caused by the decrease of hormone levels that naturally occurs through the aging process. In addition, the benefits of NHRT also include:

• Reduced hot flashes
• Improved sleep and better mood, concentration, and memory
• Improved libido (sex drive)
• Reduced vaginal dryness/thinning
• Increased protection against osteoporosis
• Better maintenance of muscles mass/strength
• Improved cholesterol levels
• Protection against heart disease and stroke
• Reduced risk of depression, Alzheimer's disease, endometrial cancer, and breast cancer
• Fewer unwanted side effects than with some synthetic hormones

At HB Apothecary, our pharmacists will work closely with patients and physicians in order to compound customized NHRT medications in the most suitable strengths and dosage forms to meet each woman's unique needs. Hormone replacement therapy should be initiated after physical examination, and the review of symptoms and family history. Close monitoring to appropriately adjust medication dosage is essential.
