As every woman’s experience of menopause is different, so too should be her treatment. At our compounding pharmacy, we work with healthcare professionals to formulate individualised BHRT (Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy) solutions—designed to support women through the physical and emotional challenges of perimenopause and menopause with precision and care.
What is BHRT?
BHRT stands for Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy—a treatment that uses hormones chemically identical to those produced by the human body. These hormones are derived from plant sources and customised to match each woman’s hormonal needs.
Unlike standard HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy), which often uses fixed-dose combinations and synthetic hormones, BHRT is tailored. That means more personalised treatment, fewer side effects, and potentially better long-term outcomes.
Why Personalised BHRT?
Every woman’s hormonal profile is unique. Age, symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, and blood/saliva hormone test results all influence the type and amount of hormone needed.
A compounding pharmacy can:
- Adjust hormone doses to precise strengths
- Combine multiple hormones into one product
- Customise the format (e.g. cream, capsule, lozenge)
- Choose suitable base ingredients (e.g. hypoallergenic creams or alcohol-free solutions)
Common Symptoms BHRT Can Help Manage
- Hot flushes & night sweats
- Vaginal dryness
- Mood swings & irritability
- Brain fog & poor concentration
- Low libido
- Insomnia
- Fatigue
- Osteoporosis support
Key Hormones We Compound
- Oestradiol – The most potent form of estrogen, helpful for hot flushes, sleep, and skin
- Oestriol – Milder estrogen used in vaginal creams and for urinary symptoms
- Progesterone – Balances estrogen, supports mood and sleep, and protects the endometrium
- Testosterone – Often forgotten in female health, supports libido, cognition, and muscle tone
- DHEA & Pregnenolone – For adrenal and cognitive support in selected patients
Popular BHRT Formulations We Create
- Oestradiol 0.5% + Progesterone 10% cream
- Oestriol 1mg vaginal cream (Topi-CLICK® Perl applicator)
- Sublingual lozenges with oestradiol + progesterone + testosterone
