Bioidentical hormones in DeSoto: what it means
Behind the label "bioidentical hormone replacement therapy" is a plain idea: a hormone whose structure matches the body's own. 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.
Only 3 OB-GYNs list a primary practice address in DeSoto in the NPI registry. For 55,896 residents that is 5.4 per 100,000, under the US 17.8 and below Texas's 15.4. That is about 3,200 women aged 45 to 64 for each OB-GYN in the city, a ratio rather than a count of open appointments.
Widen the circle and the count grows: 22 in the city or within 10 miles, 656 within 25 miles. For the 3,330,312 people who live within 25 miles, that is 19.7 per 100,000. Whether or not you have an OB-GYN, you can ask a physician licensed in Texas about menopause hormone therapy online from DeSoto, with no waiting room.
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.
Through VevaMD, a physician licensed in Texas 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. Pellets are not part of it. Because the dispensing pharmacy also compounds, you can ask whether your estradiol or progesterone is an FDA-approved product. Two options are compounded for certain: testosterone cream for women and Bi-Est are 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 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.
