Our compounding pharmacy specializes in bio-identical, natural hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), including progesterone, estradiol, estriol, estrone, testosterone and DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone). We provide saliva testing for hormone levels and a complete consultation service. Our consultation includes a detailed summary and therapy recommendations which are sent to the patient's primary care physician, along with any necessary follow-ups. We use our knowledge to help your physician customize hormone therapy to your body's needs.
Hormone Therapy (HT) usually refers to either estrogen or combination estrogen/progesterone treatment. In order to fully replicate the function of hormones with a replacement hormone, the chemical structure must exactly match the natural hormone that was originally produced and present in the patient. Natural hormones include estrone (E1), estradiol (E2), estriol (E3), progesterone, testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and pregnenolone.
A women's medical and family history is important to hormone replacement therapy (HRT). This information should be reviewed carefully and taken into consideration before initiating treatment. Every woman's chemical structure is unique, thus, responding to therapy differently. The strength and dosage form of the hormone is specific to the individual. At Cantrell Drug Company, our compounding specialists work in triad with the patient and physician to tailor a hormone regimen to correct a hormonal imbalance.
A prescription medication for estrogen therapy is the most highly effective choice for treating menopause symptoms, provided hormonal balance is maintained. It can reduce or eliminate various symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes, disturbed sleep resulting from hot flashes, and vaginal dryness.
An estimated 80% of North Americans suffer from Adrenal Fatigue at some point in their lives. Prolonged or intense emotional or physical stress commonly associated with busy lifestyles or chronic illnesses plays a large part in Adrenal Fatigue. Your adrenal glands cannot adequately meet the demands of such stress.
Hormones that are secreted via the adrenal glands, such as estrogen, cortisol, and testosterone, significantly affect total body function and are essential to health and vitality. Carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism, fluid and electrolyte balance, gastrointestinal function, heart and cardiovascular system, and even your sex drive can experience changes with each increment of reduction in adrenal function. Without the proper balance, possible health conditions could range from allergies to obesity.
Although more than half of all people with thyroid disease are unaware of their condition, they may be experiencing symptoms of hypothyroidism (low levels of thyroid hormone). These symptoms may include fatigue, low blood pressure, fluid retention, cold and heat intolerance, dry skin and/or hair, headaches, low sexual desire, infertility, constipation, irregular menstrual periods, anxiety, slowed metabolism and decreased heart rate, aching muscles and joints, depression, memory impairment, enlarged tongue, deep voice, swollen neck, PMS, weight gain, and hypoglycemia. Hypothyroidism is a leading cause of high cholesterol and triglycerides, and severe hypothyroidism can cause symptoms similar to Alzheimer's disease.
Thyroid Hormone exists in two major forms:
The role of thyroid hormone and consideration of its impact on multiple body systems is emerging as a critical component of balanced hormone replacement for men and women.
