Declining estrogen and progesterone levels can cause hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and sleep disruption. BHRT can restore hormonal equilibrium and improve comfort during this transition.

At Care and Save Pharmacy in Altamonte, we believe hormonal balance is central to vitality, mood, metabolism, and overall wellness. Our compounding pharmacists partner with licensed providers to design customized BHRT (bioidentical hormone replacement therapy) regimens that align with your body’s natural biochemistry and your individual health goals.

Menopause / Perimenopause
Andropause / Low Testosterone
PMS / Hormonal Irregularity
Adrenal Fatigue & Cortisol Imbalance
Thyroid Support
Menopause / Perimenopause
Andropause / Low Testosterone
Gradual testosterone decline in men can lead to fatigue, loss of strength, low libido, and mood changes. Customized testosterone therapy helps restore balance, energy, and confidence.
PMS / Hormonal Irregularity
Fluctuating estrogen and progesterone can trigger irritability, bloating, and menstrual discomfort. BHRT can stabilize cycles and relieve premenstrual symptoms.
Adrenal Fatigue & Cortisol Imbalance
Thyroid Support
Suboptimal thyroid levels can affect metabolism, mood, and energy. BHRT may be integrated with thyroid optimization (T3/T4) under medical supervision for comprehensive hormonal wellness.
Low Libido & Sexual Function Changes
Sleep Disturbances & Mood Shifts
Weight Fluctuation & Metabolic Slowdown
Cognitive Fog & Memory Decline
Bone Density & Muscle Support
Low Libido & Sexual Function Changes
Decreased testosterone or estrogen can affect desire and arousal. Personalized hormone balancing can improve sexual well-being for both men and women.
Sleep Disturbances & Mood Shifts
Hormonal imbalance can disrupt melatonin, estrogen, or progesterone levels, affecting sleep and emotional stability. BHRT can restore a sense of calm and more consistent rest.
Weight Fluctuation & Metabolic Slowdown
Hormones directly influence metabolism, appetite, and fat storage. BHRT can support healthier metabolic function, muscle tone, and energy regulation.
Cognitive Fog & Memory Decline
Bone Density & Muscle Support
Hormones such as estrogen and testosterone protect bone and muscle tissue. BHRT helps reduce loss of density and strength over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy is a therapeutic approach using hormones that are chemically identical to those naturally produced in the body, customized to your lab values and clinical presentation.
BHRT allows custom formulations, dosing, and combinations tailored to individual needs. Unlike “one-size-fits-all” commercial hormone products, compounded BHRT can be more flexible in strength, delivery method, and hormone mix.
We can deliver BHRT in many forms: creams, gels, capsules, troches, transdermal patches, or injectable / subcutaneous forms as indicated by your provider.
Yes — one of the advantages of compounding is the ability to blend estrogens, progesterone, testosterone, and supportive agents in a single preparation, under your provider’s prescription.
Yes. BHRT must be prescribed by a licensed healthcare provider after you undergo appropriate hormone testing (blood, saliva, or urine as clinically chosen).
When managed properly with clinical oversight and monitoring, BHRT can be a useful tool. However, compounded BHRT is not FDA-approved in the same way as commercial hormone products, so safety and efficacy data are less comprehensive. (Medical societies caution that claims of superior safety are not fully substantiated.)
Meet with your healthcare provider to discuss symptoms and request hormone panel testing. Once your provider writes a prescription (with your desired hormones, doses, and route), have it sent to Care and Save Pharmacy. We’ll compound the formula, coordinate with your provider, and guide you through administration and follow-up.
