The FDA has approved drugs containing hormones that are identical to the hormones made naturally by women in their reproductive years.

Our bioidentical oral pills and transdermal patches are FDA-approved, and our compounded creams are created with FDA-approved ingredients in our compounding pharmacy to match your Winona doctor's specifications/dosage.

Compounding is a practice in which different ingredients found in FDA-approved medicines are combined to create medications that meet the needs of individual patients.

Currently, once FDA-approved ingredients are combined, they can no longer be labeled FDA-approved, since the FDA does not regulate compounding. This means that while our creams are not labeled FDA-approved, they are formulated with ingredients from FDA-registered sources.
