Customized Hormone Replacement Therapy

Reed's Compounding Pharmacy compounds customized hormone replacement therapy (HRT) using hormones that have the same molecular structure as those that are made by the human body. The molecular or chemical structure affects the actions or side effects that a hormone will have in the body.

We believe that the goal of hormone replacement therapy should be to provide an adequate supply of the deficient hormone in a form that is as close as possible to that which the body originally produced.

Every person is unique. Therefore, it is a sensible approach for health care professionals and patients to work together, to provide, by prescription, customized hormone replacement therapy in the most appropriate strength and dosage form for administration via the preferred route to meet each individual’s needs.

Goals of Customized HRT

Alleviate symptoms caused by the natural decrease in production of hormones by the body
Re-establish an optimal hormonal balance by replenishing hormones which are deficient

Natural hormones have a chemical structure identical to human hormones but are chemically synthesized, such as progesterone, estriol, and estradiol.

Synthetic hormones are not structurally identical to human hormones and may either be chemically synthesized, such as MPA, or derived from a non-human source, such as CEE.
