Menopause and hormone imbalance
Not all women struggle with hormonal issues, but many experience their share of hormonal ups and downs. Loss of libido, vaginal dryness, mood swings, loss of muscle mass, insomnia, hot flushes, and night sweats are all symptoms of hormonal imbalances.
Hormone imbalance is a common side effect of the aging process and menopause. Along with a healthy diet, exercise, and nutrition, supplementation with bioidentical hormones can help to restore hormonal balance within a woman’s body, providing relief from symptoms associated with the variations. They can significantly improve health, wellness, and quality of life.
Fagron has developed innovative, effective, and safe treatment options to treat women during all stages of life.
What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormones are an important part of your body’s messenger system. These chemicals send signals to almost every part of your body. They control things like your mood, growth, and even body hair. It’s difficult for you to function properly when your hormones are unbalanced.
The expression “bioidentical hormones” often refers to hormones that, despite being obtained through organic synthesis as a primer substrate (then, they are synthetic), possess a chemical structure identical to human endogenous sexual hormones. They’re designed so your body uses them in the same way it does your own hormones.

Personalized treatment
Hormone replacement therapy can be personalized to meet the specific treatment needs of the patients. With standardized dosages, you may be forced to choose between a slightly too high dose that produces unwanted side effects or a too low dose that doesn’t provide adequate symptom relief. Customization allows each patient to receive treatment according to their individual hormone balance and symptoms, improving efficacy and tolerability.
Also, custom hormone medications can be produced in various formats, including pills, patches, creams, gels, injections, and pellets, allowing the patient to choose a preparation that works for their preferences and lifestyle.
