We’ve all heard the symptoms … hot flashes, night sweats and generalized irritability. Between the ages 45 – 55, women begin experiencing menopause. However, symptoms can occur when a woman is in her mid-thirties. During menopause, a woman’s ovaries stop making eggs, and subsequently produce less estrogen and progesterone. These hormonal changes are the cause of menopause symptoms.

While these symptoms can be unpleasant, there are suggestions for potential treatment through customized hormone replacement therapy (HRT). At Reed’s Compounding Pharmacy, we specialize in customized treatments that are created for you and your individual needs. After a brief consultation, we may be able to work with you and your doctor to find the best hormone treatment for you.

In the US - at least 40 million women are currently experiencing menopause, and an additional 20 million women will reach menopause during the next decade. Treatment of menopause includes hormone replacement therapy (HRT), which is a topic that has gained national and international prominence in recent years.

In addition to customized hormone replacement therapy, there are several natural supplements that have been found to ease some of the symptoms of this life transition.
