Natural Hormone Replacement
|
Did you know that conventional hormone replacement medications
as prescribed by most doctors relies on chemical versions of
the hormones progesterone and estrogen that are foreign to a
woman’s body and, in turn, produces many unwanted side effects? If you are dissatisfied with your current hormonal therapy or
questioning your alternatives regarding hormone replacement
therapy, Rice Drugs is the pharmacy for you.
Rice Drugs is pleased to offer extensive services to women
seeking natural hormone replacement. Our trained pharmacists
begin with a free initial consultation. In this consultation,
a complete medical and family history is obtained. Our patient
is given the opportunity to discuss her own personal
symptoms and complaints in a confidential one-on-one session
with her pharmacist. Our pharmacists then describe the various
compounded dosage forms available to meet her specific needs. This can include oral capsules and injections, as well as transdermal or transmucosal forms such as gels, creams,
troches or suppositories. REMEMBER: This entire extensive
initial consultation service and subsequent consultation
services are offered FREE OF CHARGE to our patients!
In cooperation with your personal family physician or
gynecologist, a hormone combination and strength is chosen
and the appropriate form is dispensed. Upon each refill, one
of our pharmacists takes the time to discuss with you just
how the strength and dosage form has been working for you
throughout the month. If any adjustments are needed, the
pharmacists at Rice Drugs will gladly work with your physician
to satisfy your requests. Our goal is to make you feel balanced
and in charge of your hormone replacement!
Many questions arise when it comes to natural hormone
replacement, and our pharmacists are here to answer some
popular questions.
For example, are natural hormones patentable?
The hormones the human body normally produces are estrone,
estradiol, estriol, progesterone and testosterone. These
hormones originate from the wild yam, which are rich in
precursor molecules. These are then converted to hormones
that are identical in every way to hormones found naturally
in the female body. Because the hormones are found in nature
and are not considered “artificial or synthetic,” natural
hormones are NOT patentable.
Another popular question is
what are the benefits of natural hormone replacement?
Our pharmacists know that natural hormone replacement offers
symptomatic relief of the classic menopausal symptoms such as
hot flashes, vaginal dryness, irritability and moodiness. Natural hormones also offer prevention of osteoporosis and
restoration of bone strength. Protection against heart
disease and stroke is also accomplished by natural hormone
replacement. Women also get a reduced risk of depression,
improved sleep, better concentration and memory and increased
libido. The most important benefit of natural hormone
replacement is fewer unwanted effects than with synthetic
hormones and custom tailored therapy to each individual. At Rice Drugs, we know every woman is different and requires
a different amount of hormone supplementation. We are ready
and willing to sit down and take time to adjust your dose as
many times as necessary until we arrive at the PERFECT
customized dose for YOU!!!
So what are the possible unwanted effects of synthetic
hormone replacement? Fluid retention, nausea and
vomiting, breast tenderness, headache, vaginal bleeding
and blood clots top the list of unwanted effects. If
these are effects that you are trying to avoid or wishing
to stop, contact one of our pharmacists today for information
on natural hormone replacement. We are here for you!
