Big C's Approach to BHRT Despite the complex nature of hormones, the principles behind hormone replacement therapy are relatively simple. In making recommendations for hormone replacement therapy, Big C Pharmacy subscribes to the following three principles: 1. EVALUATION- No patient should ever undergo hormone replacement therapy without a thorough investigation of the body's hormone levels, symptoms, and needs. Big C uses salivary testing to determine your hormone levels, then compares those levels with the symptoms you are experiencing before making any therapeutic recommendations. 2. BIOIDENTICAL REPLACEMENT- When replacing hormones in the body, one should only use hormones which are the same as those that have been produced by your body throughout your life. Big C advocates the use of bioidentical, or natural, hormones. 3. APPROPRIATE DOSING- Hormones should be replaced at the lowest possible effective dosage. And, dosages should be customized to meet an individual's body chemistry, current hormone levels, and needs. Furthermore, physicians and pharmacists should not be afraid to change dosages as needed until the desired results are achieved. Always keeping these three principles in mind, Big C will strive to make your hormone replacement therapy a success! These guiding principles ensure that you will experience an individualized regimen of hormone replacement therapy and will engage in regular follow-up sessions with your managing physician and pharmacist. At Big C, we remain committed to helping you regain control of your hormones while educating you about the changes your body is experiencing throughout the process. By empowering our patients with knowledge and resources, we hope to ensure that your experiences with BHRT will be successful. Thank you for placing your confidence in us. We look forward to meeting your BHRT needs! |
