Are Bioidentical hormones approved and regulated by FDA?
[top] The ingredients in bioidentical hormones such as estrogen, progesterone and testosterone are approved by the FDA. When these ingredients are compounded at a dose specific to individual needs, it no longer falls under FDA regulation. State and local pharmacy boards have jurisdiction over them, not the FDA. It is important to know you are using the highest quality compounding pharmacy and that they follow the most stringent guidelines and have excellent quality assurance.
