Hormone Replacement Therapy Compounding

Menopause marks the end of menstrual cycles, typically occurring in women between ages 45-55. Perimenopause is the transitional period leading up to menopause, which can last several years.

Common symptoms we help manage:

• Hot flashes and night sweats
• Mood changes, anxiety, and irritability
• Sleep disturbances and insomnia
• Vaginal dryness and discomfort
• Decreased libido
• Weight gain and metabolic changes
• Brain fog and memory issues
• Joint pain and muscle aches

Our customized HRT formulations can significantly reduce or eliminate these symptoms, helping you maintain quality of life during this transition.

Also known as premature menopause, POI occurs when the ovaries stop functioning normally before age 40. This condition requires hormone replacement to prevent long-term health complications.

Why HRT is essential for POI:

• Protects bone density and prevents osteoporosis
• Supports cardiovascular health
• Maintains cognitive function
• Alleviates menopausal symptoms
• Supports emotional well-being

We create personalized formulations that provide the hormonal support your body needs at this critical time.

Women who undergo surgical removal of the ovaries (oophorectomy) experience an immediate and dramatic drop in hormone levels, often resulting in severe menopausal symptoms.

Our compounded HRT helps manage the sudden onset of symptoms and provides the hormonal support your body needs after surgery. We work closely with your surgeon and healthcare team to create an optimal treatment plan.

Hormonal imbalances can occur at any age due to stress, thyroid disorders, PCOS, adrenal dysfunction, or other medical conditions.

Symptoms of hormone imbalance may include:

• Irregular or heavy menstrual periods
• PMS and mood swings
• Fatigue and low energy
• Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
• Hair loss or thinning
• Acne or skin changes
• Sleep problems
• Low libido

Bioidentical hormones are molecularly identical to the hormones your body produces naturally, while synthetic hormones have a different chemical structure. Bioidentical hormones are derived from plant sources and are designed to match your body's hormones exactly, which may result in better absorption, fewer side effects, and more natural results.

When prescribed by a qualified healthcare provider and compounded by a specialized pharmacy like Mixwell, HRT is safe and effective for most women. We use pharmaceutical-grade ingredients, follow strict quality standards, and work closely with your provider to monitor your treatment. As with any medication, there are potential risks and benefits that should be discussed with your healthcare provider.

The timeline varies depending on individual factors, the severity of symptoms, and the delivery method used. Your provider will monitor your progress and adjust your formulation as needed.

Yes, all hormone replacement therapy requires a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider. Your provider will evaluate your symptoms, review your medical history, and order appropriate hormone testing before prescribing HRT. We work directly with your provider to fill your prescription with a customized formulation.

Most HRT prescriptions are filled monthly, though some formulations may last longer. We offer convenient refill reminders and can coordinate with your provider for prescription renewals. Your provider will typically want to see you every 3-6 months to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment as needed.
