Women’s Health
Your health begins with balance
Hormone imbalance is a common side effect of the ageing process and everyday living. Along with diet, exercise and nutrition, supplementation with bioidentical hormones can help to restore a hormonal imbalance within a woman’s body. Fagron has developed innovative, effective and safe treatment options to treat women during all stages of life.
Working with your prescriber, our compounding pharmacists can create a variety of personalised preparations to help with:
Not all women struggle with hormonal issues, but there are many who experience their share of hormonal ups and downs. Loss of libido, vaginal dryness, mood swings, loss of muscle mass, insomnia, hot flushes, night sweats and weight gain (especially around the waist area) are all symptoms of hormonal imbalances. The good news is that bioidentical hormones are known to provide relieve from symptoms associated with hormone imbalances, and can significantly improve your health, wellness and quality of life.
Your hormone replacement therapy can be personalised to meet your specific treatment needs. Prescribers use laboratory test results, medical history and a physical examination to determine each patient’s unique dose. During follow-up consultations minor adjustments might be made to formulate the most effective dose and treatment regime.
Your hormones affect your overall health in significant ways. If you are suffering from hormone imbalance symptoms, speak to one of our pharmacists or let us help you to find a health care provider in your area.

Hormone Replacement Therapy Pellet Implants
A small amount of the hormone is slowly released into the body every day for 3 to 6 months, depending on the pellet dose. Pellet implants are about the size of a grain of rice, and are inserted in a painless and quick procedure in the prescriber’s office (no stitches needed). Pellets are compounded individually for each patient and the health care provider will monitor the hormone levels to ensure that optimum levels are being achieved.
Oral HRT Capsules
Your health care provider will prescribe the specific dose of oral capsules, depending on test results and other health factors. Regular tests are required to ensure optimum levels.

Sublingual Troches or Lozenges
Troches are medicated lozenges that easily dissolve in the mouth. This route of administration makes it easier for hormones to enter the body directly via your mouth and into the blood stream, while avoiding breakdown by the liver. Speak to your prescriber or one of our pharmacists to explore personalised troches from Fagron.
Vaginal Creams
Vaginal creams are prepared in Intimae™ Vaginal Cream base, a rich mucosal adhesive cream with unique antibacterial and bio-adherent properties. Designed with precision, this multipurpose base contains hyaluronic acid that helps initiate moisturisation, thereby reducing irritation. Its mucosal-tolerant ingredients make Intimae™ suitable for a broad spectrum of topical or intravaginal treatment options.
Vaginal Pessaries
Vaginal suppositories (or pessaries) are usually oval-shaped and weigh between 3 and 5 grams. A vaginal suppository is a solid moulded dosage form that is inserted vaginally. The medication is delivered once the suppository dissolves inside the body. It will then be absorbed locally and systemically.
During and after menopause, a woman has reduced hormone levels. This imbalance may cause vaginal atrophy, vaginal dryness and painful intercourse. Many menopausal women suffer from diminished sexual arousal, thereby reducing their sensitivity to sexual touch. Women in this stage of life might also begin to suffer from stress, anxiety and depression as an indirect result of menopause.
For years, women have consulted with their prescribers and compounding pharmacists to find relief from menopausal symptoms related to female sexual dysfunction. Women with sexual concerns benefit most from a combined treatment approach which addresses medical, relationship and emotional issues.

Endometriosis and uterine fibroids
Women can be affected by various conditions of the female reproductive system. Endometriosis and uterine fibroids are the most prevalent of these, and can have a negative impact on mental, physical and social well-being of women affected. Symptoms include pelvic pain, menstrual cramps, pain during intercourse, and infertility.
Endometriosis affects 1 in every 10 women and is a disease of the female reproductive system. It occurs to women when tissue similar to that of the inner parts of the womb or endometrium is found outside of the uterus (for example in the ovaries, the fallopian tubes and/or pelvic area).
Leiomyomas, myomas or fibroids are noncancerous growths of the uterus. They are fairly common, affecting about 4 out of 10 women. Fibroids range in size from seedlings (undetectable by the human eye) to bulky masses that can distort and enlarge the uterus. They may be inside the uterus, on its outer surface or within the uterus wall.
Interstitial cystitis
Interstitial cystitis, or bladder pain syndrome (also IC/BPS), is a chronic inflammatory condition of the submucosal and muscular layers of the bladder. The cause of IC/BPS is currently unknown, and the condition is regarded as a diagnosis of exclusion. IC/BPS may be associated with urinary urgency, urinary frequency, waking at night to urinate (nocturia), and sterile urine cultures. Patients with interstitial cystitis may have symptoms that overlap with other urinary bladder disorders, such as urinary tract infection (UTI), overactive bladder, urethritis, urethral syndrome, and prostatitis. IC/BPS can result in a quality of life comparable to that of a patient with rheumatoid arthritis, chronic cancer pain, or a patient on kidney dialysis.
