How are bioidentical hormones administered?
Prior to starting on hormone therapy, the patient’s own hormone levels are measured. Dosage and form of therapy are chosen based on each individual patient’s needs and preferences. Once the patient has been on the therapy for a period of time, levels can be measured again and the dosage adjusted or the route of administration changed, to suit the patient’s individual needs. Doctors have been treating thyroid disease, diabetes and electrolyte imbalance in this manner for many years. The object is to get the patient back into balance using bioidentical replacement products and using each patient’s symptoms and laboratory levels as a guide.
