Compounded medications for HRT can be more closely titrated to match the patient's needs determined with precise testing. Hormone therapy is not a one-size-fits-all and the amount taken/applied must be adjusted for the particular needs of the patient which can only be done through compounding. If the amount is insufficient or excessive to even the smallest measure, it can have profound negative effects on the patient. Compounded HRT is also chemically identical to what is produced in the body unlike pharmaceuticals created in a laboratory. Engineered laboratory hormones are not recognized by receptors in the body in the same way as compounded bioidentical hormones. Access to compounded HRT is essential for restoring and maintaining good cardiovascular health along with resistance to cancer.
