Bioidentical Hormone
Replacement
Therapy
First Care Pharmacy specializes in compounding bioidentical hormone replacement therapies for men and women. Since every patient has a unique biochemistry, there is no single solution when it comes to hormone replacement therapy. First Care Pharmacy compounds hormones that are tailored to each individual and, because they are plant based and not synthetic, replicate natural hormones produced in the body such as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA).
Collaboratively with health care providers, we compound medication solutions that enable patients to achieve hormonal balance. We also work with providers to develop protocols for prescribing hormone replacement therapies and advise them on proper supplementation.
Individualized Medication Solutions
First Care Pharmacy helps patients by providing individual dosages of hormones in formats that are easy to use, such as capsules, troches, transdermal creams and gels that are absorbed by the skin for optimal medication effectiveness. Multiple hormones can be compounded into one dosage form to enhance patient compliance.
