Custom Compounded HRT for Women – Mixwell Compounding Pharmacy in Chino, CA
Mixwell Compounding Pharmacy prepares custom hormone replacement therapy (HRT) formulations for women based on individual prescriptions from their physicians. Every compounded preparation is made to the exact strength and dosage form specified by your prescriber.
What Is Compounded HRT for Women?
Hormone replacement therapy involves medications that contain hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. When commercially available products don't meet a patient's specific needs, a physician may prescribe a compounded formulation tailored to that individual.
Compounded HRT is not the same as commercial HRT. It is prepared individually by a licensed compounding pharmacist based on a valid prescription. Your physician determines whether compounded HRT is appropriate for your situation.
Common Hormones Compounded for Women
- Estradiol – the primary form of estrogen prescribed for HRT
- Progesterone – often prescribed alongside estrogen
- Testosterone – may be prescribed at low doses for women by some physicians
- Estriol – a form of estrogen sometimes included in compounded preparations
- DHEA – a precursor hormone occasionally included in physician-directed protocols
Available Compounded Dosage Forms
Depending on your prescription, compounded HRT preparations may be available in several forms:
- Topical creams and gels
- Troches (dissolving lozenges)
- Oral capsules
- Vaginal suppositories or creams
- Combination formulations as prescribed
Your physician selects the delivery form and strength that best fits your individual treatment plan. Mixwell compounds exactly what is prescribed.
Why Some Physicians Prescribe Compounded HRT
- Patient requires a strength not available in commercial products
- Allergies or sensitivities to dyes, fillers, or preservatives in commercial formulations
- Need for a specific delivery form not commercially available
- Combination therapy requiring multiple hormones in one preparation
- Discontinued commercial products with no suitable alternative

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a prescription for compounded HRT?

How long does compounding take?

Is compounded HRT the same as bioidentical HRT?
Some compounded hormones use bioidentical hormones — molecules chemically identical to those the body produces. Your physician can explain the terminology and what is included in your specific prescription.
Can you compound HRT creams and capsules together?
We compound what your physician prescribes. If your prescription calls for multiple forms or a combination preparation, our pharmacists will review it and discuss your options.
What is the difference between compounded and commercial HRT?
Commercial HRT products are FDA-approved and manufactured in standardized doses. Compounded HRT is prepared individually based on a prescription when a commercial product does not meet the patient's specific needs. Your physician can help determine which option is right for you.
