Many patients come to Thomas Seashore Drugs for compounded hormone therapy, also known as bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). Bioidentical hormones are man-made hormones, but nearly identical to those found in the human body. These hormones can be created in pills, patches, creams and gels for a variety of health conditions. Estrogen, progesterone and testosterone are the most commonly replicated hormones used in BHRT treatment. 

Bioidentical hormones are used to treat hormone imbalances, as well as:

• Male and female menopause
• Osteoporosis
• Insulin resistance
• Adrenal and thyroid disorders
• Fibromyalgia

Patients are often told there is little they can do to combat hormone imbalances or the effects of aging—from loss of sex drive to fatigue, hot flashes to insomnia, and depression to weight gain—when the right solution may be bio-identical drugs made specifically for you and your symptoms.

Compounded bioidentical hormones can be specifically created in our state-of-the-art pharmacy labs to fit your body, health needs and hormone levels. Our medical team will carefully review your health plan before beginning any hormone therapy. To enhance effectiveness and minimize side effects, we advise starting on the lowest dose for the shortest period of time.
