Bio-Identical Hormone Replace Therapy
Bio
Identical hormones are made to have the same molecular structure as the
hormones made by your own body. By contrast, synthetic hormones are
intentionally different.
Drug companies can’t patent a bioidentical structure, so they invent
synthetic hormones that are patentable (Premarin, Prempro and Provera
being the most widely used examples). Though bioidentical hormones have
been around for years, most practitioners are unfamiliar with them.
There are several branded versions now available for use in the kind of
hormone replacement therapy (“HRT”) typical of synthetic hormones. This
is generally a one-size-fits-all dosage regime.
At the Advance Center for Hormone Replace Therapy, we have had the
greatest success with an individualized approach. We begin with
laboratory tests of your baseline hormone levels (a so-called “hormone
panel”). When warranted, we then prescribe a precise dosage of
bioidentical estrogen, testosterone or DHEA that is specially formulated
at a compounding pharmacy. Each patient is then monitored carefully
through regular follow-up hormone panels to ensure that your hormone
levels are maintained at optimum levels. In the initial stages, we will
repeat some hormone levels as soon as a month into therapy to see how
you are improving. This is correlated with how you feel and what changes
you've experienced and adjustments are made. Once balance is restored at
a steady state is achieved, some hormones can be monitored on a yearly
or bi yearly basis.
