Bio-Identical "Natural"
Hormone Replacement Frequently
Asked Questions
Does
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy require a
prescription?
All estrogen and testosterone hormones and some strengths of
progesterone require a prescription. After meeting with one
of our consultant pharmacists, recommendations are made to
your doctor for a specific regimen that fits your needs.
Will my
insurance cover Bio-Identical Hormones?
Most insurances will pay for bio-identical hormone
replacement therapy. Detailed insurance claim forms will be
provided for you to file for reimbursement. Generally,
patients are reimbursed the price of the medication less the
highest tier copay.
How do I
begin Bio-Identical "Natural" Hormones?
To begin a customized natural hormone replacement, call
Medical Center Pharmacy
at 910-763-1896 to schedule a consultation with Henry
Herring, RPh or Beverly Clark, RPh.
During this
meeting, the pharmacist will review your medical history
form and symptoms. The pharmacist will make a specific
recommendation for bio-identical hormone replacement to your
doctor for approval. It may also be appropriate for saliva
testing to be done to determine your present hormone
levels. For further education on Bio-Identical "Natural"
Hormones, reserve a seat at the next seminar given by Henry
Herring, RPh or read our recommended literature.
How are
Bio-identical Hormones different than synthetic hormones
such as Premarin?
Bio-Identical Hormones are identical in structure to
the hormones your body produces; therefore, many of the
unwanted side effects are alleviated by this customized
therapy. Finally, using customized hormone replacement is a
refreshing change to traditional synthetic hormones because
there are endless dosage possibilities. Every woman's
hormonal need is unique and instead of choosing between two
or three strengths of tablets, the staff of Medical Center
Pharmacy can prepare a specific regimen to your individual
needs whether it be capsules, cream, or even lozenges!

The Wisdom of Menopause
by
Christiane Northrup
"It is no secret that relationship
crises are a common side effect of menopause..." (more)
Menopause doesn't have to be a dreaded curse of aging
during which we can look forward only to hot flashes and
whacked-out hormonal mood swings. According to
Christiane Northrup, M.D. (Women's
Bodies, Women's Wisdom),
menopause often marks the beginning of a woman's most
sexually passionate, creatively inspired, and
professionally productive phase of life.
