Why Are Women's Health Medications Compounded?

Women’s health medications are compounded for a variety of reasons, one being that most available medications come in limited dosages and forms that may not be right for you. Especially when dealing with hormone levels, allergies/sensitivities, and specific needs such as vaginal or sexual health, it’s important to have personalized dosage forms and strengths that work for you.

What Conditions Do We Compound For?

We compound for a variety of women’s health conditions, including:
  • Hormonal Imbalances: Customized BHRT (creams, gels, capsules, lozenges, drops) for hot flashes, vaginal dryness, mood swings, and overall well being.
  • Infertility: Creams, vaginal suppositories, and injectable progesterone to support a healthy pregnancy. Trigger injections and other medications commonly used to support infertility, intrauterine inseminations (IUI), and in-vitro fertilizations (IVF).
  • Vaginal Dryness: Moisturizing creams with estrogen
  • Vaginal Infections: Targeted creams & suppositories treat specific yeast or bacterial issues.
  • Weight Loss: Our personalized approach to weight management focuses on optimizing your metabolic function through compounded medications and tailored dosing, potentially supporting your physician’s overall weight loss strategy.
  • Pain Relief: Localized creams, gels, or suppositories for pain management.

    And More: Skincare, wrinkles, hair loss, and potential solutions for incontinence & sleep.
