Certified Compounding Pharmacy
Committed to the highest standards of purity and accuracy.
Not all compounded bioidentical hormones are created equal. There are thousands of compounding pharmacies in the United States, and quality, safety standards, and degree of experience can vary considerably.
We believe that it is vital that our BHRT patients have access to only the highest quality compounded drugs, which is why RestoreMD carefully evaluates compounding pharmacies to determine whether they satisfy the rigorous standards of purity, accuracy and customer service that is required to receive the RestoreMD Certified™ label.
This is also why RestoreMD doctors work exclusively with RestoreMD Certified™ compounders for all compounded bioidentical hormones and other age management prescriptions, including estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, cortisol, estradiol, estriol, hGC, and hGH (growth hormone).
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT COMPOUNDING
What is compounding?
Compounding is the method of preparing customized medications to help meet unique physician and patient needs. Compounding pharmacies specialize in the formulation of drugs that are not commercially available in the precise dose or form that a doctor requires. Unlike the off-the-shelf, mass-produced medications that we are more familiar with, compounded prescriptions are formulated to meet the specific, individual needs of the patient. Compounding has gained visibility in recent years as knowledge of the safety and efficacy of compounded bioidentical hormones has spread.
What conditions are treated with compounded bioidentical hormones?
Compounded bioidentical hormones are often prescribed to treat aging related symptoms in both men and women, including menopause and perimenopause, andropause, adrenal fatigue, hot flashes, mood swings, depression and anxiety, weight gain, muscle loss, sexual dysfunction, and much more.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) or hormone replacement therapy (HRT) should be part of a comprehensive treatment regime that also includes nutrition, fitness, and lifestyle choices.
Who can prescribe compounded hormones?
Compounded hormones can be prescribed by any licensed physician or nurse practitioner. Before a physician writes you a prescription for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), however, they should measure your hormone levels to detect underlying hormonal imbalances. RestoreMD doctors have been trained in the use of state-of-the-art hormone testing techniques to identify hormonal imbalances and to prescribe you the optimal combination of compounded bioidentical hormones.
Why do RestoreMD doctors use compounding pharmacies?
Central to the RestoreMD approach to Age Management is the belief that one size DOES NOT fit all. With the help of an experienced compounding pharmacy, your RestoreMD doctor will recommend a custom prescription that targets your specific needs.
How can I be sure of the quality and purity of compounded hormones?
You can’t. That is why RestoreMD doctors only prescribe using RestoreMD Certified™ compounding pharmacies that meet our rigorous standards of purity, accuracy and customer service.
