Hormone Therapy
After your initial evaluation, your physician will discuss with you the methods by which you may receive your hormones. These include:
• Topically applied (transdermal including creams and patches)
• Injections either into the fat in your belly (subcutaneously) or the buttock muscles (intramuscular)
• By mouth (oral, and usually reserved only for progesterone, DHEA and cortisol)
• Implantation of pellets (see menu)
Your hormones will be ordered from a compounding pharmacy. The pharmacies we recommend are:
• Medaus Pharmacy (www.Medaus.com)
• Mark Drugs, Roselle and Deerfield (www.MarkDrugs.com)
• University Compounding Pharmacy (www.ucprx.com)
• Healthway Pharmacy (www.healthwayrx.com)
