Bioidentical hormones in Waterbury: what it means
If you are one of the 15,541 women aged 45 to 64 in Waterbury and have searched for "bioidentical" hormones: the word means a hormone whose structure matches one the body makes. Two hormones used in menopause care fit it exactly, estradiol and micronized progesterone. FDA-approved versions of both are sold by prescription at retail pharmacies.
"BHRT" often means compounded hormones, a cream, a blend such as Bi-Est or a pellet that a pharmacy mixes for one prescription. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, so the FDA cannot assure their safety, effectiveness or dose. The FDA also says it has no evidence that they are safe and effective, or more effective than approved hormone therapy. The National Academies, reviewing them for the FDA in 2020, called their wide use a public health concern.
26 OB-GYNs in the federal NPI registry give a primary practice address in Waterbury: 22.7 per 100,000 residents, above the US rate of 17.8 and below Connecticut's 26.4, and more per resident than 56% of the 924 cities VevaMD covers. That is about 600 women aged 45 to 64 for each OB-GYN in the city, a ratio rather than a count of open appointments.
Within 25 miles of Waterbury there are 486 OB-GYNs for 1,907,231 residents (25.5 per 100,000), well above the national rate; 61 are in the city or within 10 miles. None of this replaces your own OB-GYN or a menopause doctor you trust; VevaMD adds an online route, with a physician licensed in Connecticut reviewing your answers from home in Waterbury.
Through VevaMD, a physician licensed in Connecticut decides whether hormone therapy fits you and, if so, the form: an estradiol pill, patch, cream or vaginal cream, with progesterone if you have a uterus. There are no pellets. Since the pharmacy that fills these prescriptions also compounds, ask whether yours is an FDA-approved product or compounded. Testosterone cream for women and Bi-Est are compounded and not FDA-approved.
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 cites blood levels well above the expected range in women using compounded pellets. ACOG's guidance is to prefer FDA-approved menopause hormone therapy to compounded hormones.

What is the difference between this and BHRT pellets?
Pellets are placed under the skin in a clinic, and compounded pellets are not FDA-approved. VevaMD's physicians prescribe pills, patches, creams or vaginal forms that ship to your door in Waterbury, and do not use pellets. Some of those forms are compounded too, so ask which yours is.
