Hormone Replacement for Women

Customized hormone replacement therapy has improved the quality of life for millions of people who suffer from hormonal imbalance. The goal of any form of hormone replacement therapy should be to provide an adequate supply of the deficient hormone in a form that is as close as possible to that which the body originally produced, therefore resulting in normal physiological effects. Bio-identical hormones have the same chemical structure as the hormones that are made by the human body. The key to natural or bio-identical versus synthetic is the molecular structure of the hormone.  In order for replacement hormones to fully replicate the function of hormones that are naturally produced by the human body, the chemical structure must exactly match the original.

That’s where Cornell Pharmacy comes in.

Because every person is unique, Cornell can compound bio-identical hormone replacement therapy in the ideal strength and dosage form and administered via the most appropriate route to meet each individual’s needs.

Women produce Estrogen, Progesterone, Testosterone, DHEA, Pregnenolone, Thyroid, & Hydocortisone.  When any one of these is out of balance, problems arise.  Women feel their best when their treatment is customized to their individual needs.  There are many different forms of bio-identical HRT that work in different ways, and each woman responds according to her unique physiology.

 Cornell Pharmacy will work closely with each patient and her physician to achieve the correct hormone replacement therapy.
