Bioidentical hormones in Carmichael: what it means

Behind the label "bioidentical hormone replacement therapy" is a plain idea: a hormone whose structure matches the body's own. Estradiol and micronized progesterone are both bioidentical: their structure matches the hormones the ovaries make. Neither has to be compounded: FDA-approved estradiol comes as pills, patches, gels, sprays, vaginal creams and rings, and progesterone as capsules.

Compounded hormones are a different thing: a pharmacy prepares them for one patient, as a cream, a capsule or a pellet. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, so the FDA cannot assure their safety, effectiveness or dose. In the FDA's words, it has no evidence that compounded "bioidentical hormones" are safe and effective. When the National Academies reviewed them in 2020, the evidence was mostly low quality, such as anecdotes and patient reports.

For women in Carmichael, a physician licensed in California can prescribe estradiol (pill, patch, cream or vaginal) and progesterone when they fit your history. There are no pellets. The pharmacy that fills VevaMD prescriptions also compounds, so ask your physician whether yours is an FDA-approved product or compounded. Two options are compounded for certain: testosterone cream for women and Bi-Est are not FDA-approved.

For its size, Carmichael is well supplied with OB-GYNs: the NPI registry lists 22, or 28.2 per 100,000 residents, against 17.8 for the US and above California's 16.9. With about 9,967 women aged 45 to 64 living in Carmichael, that is about 450 for each OB-GYN in the city, before counting any younger patients.

Widen the circle and the count grows: 301 in the city or within 10 miles, 407 within 25 miles. For the 2,136,873 people who live within 25 miles, that is 19.0 per 100,000. None of this replaces your own OB-GYN or a menopause doctor you trust; VevaMD adds an online route, with a physician licensed in California reviewing your answers from home in Carmichael.

BHRT pellet clinics work differently: they place a hormone pellet under the skin in the office, and compounded pellets are not FDA-approved. The Endocrine Society points to a study that found hormone levels well above the expected range in women using them. ACOG advises FDA-approved hormone therapy over compounded preparations.

Some forms VevaMD's physicians prescribe are compounded as well; ask which yours is.
