Hormones play an essential role in regulating many functions throughout the body. When hormone levels change, some patients may experience symptoms that affect their daily wellbeing. Following consultation with a GP or specialist, compounding hormone replacement therapy medicines may be prescribed to provide a personalised treatment tailored to an individual's specific clinical needs.

At Botanical Compounding, every hormone replacement therapy medicine is individually prepared from a valid prescription. Unlike commercially manufactured medicines, compounding enables your prescriber to specify the dosage strength, formulation and dosage form most appropriate for your individual requirements. Every prescription is prepared specifically for the patient according to the prescribing healthcare practitioner's instructions.

Why Choose Compounding Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Standard commercially available medicines are not always suitable for every patient. Compounding allows healthcare practitioners to prescribe customised hormone replacement therapy medicines where an individual requires a different strength, combination of ingredients or dosage form.

Each medicine is prepared specifically for the patient, providing greater flexibility when commercially available products do not meet the prescriber's requirements.

Personalised Hormone Replacement Therapy Medicines

Depending on your prescription, hormone replacement therapy medicines may be prepared in a variety of dosage forms, including:

• Creams
• Capsules
• Troches
• Lozenges
• Oral liquids
• Other customised dosage forms where appropriate

Your prescribing practitioner will determine the most appropriate formulation based on your individual clinical needs.

Working With Your Healthcare Practitioner

Botanical Compounding works closely with GPs, specialists and other authorised prescribers to prepare personalised hormone replacement therapy medicines.

Every formulation is prepared strictly according to the prescriber's instructions using quality pharmaceutical ingredients and professional compounding procedures.

All hormone replacement therapy medicines require a valid prescription before they can be compounded.

Individualised Compounding Solutions

Compounding may be appropriate where commercially available medicines are unavailable or where a prescriber requires a personalised formulation for an individual patient.

Our experienced compounding pharmacists prepare each prescription with precision, ensuring every formulation meets the exact specifications requested by the prescribing healthcare practitioner.
