Bioidentical hormones — estradiol, estriol, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA — compounded to your prescriber's exact specification. Creams, troches, capsules, and vaginal preparations. Made in our PCAB-accredited lab under USP <795>, <797>, and <800> standards. (Sex hormones are NIOSH-listed hazardous drugs — we follow USP <800> containment for these compounds.)
Not the off-the-shelf 100/200 mg. The 87.5 mg progesterone your prescriber wrote. With or without DHEA. Bi-Est 80/20 or 90/10 — whatever the chart says.
Dye-free, gluten-free, soy-free, peanut-free bases. Anhydrous when needed. We can usually accommodate any sensitivity you bring us.
Pharmacist consultation included with every new BHRT compound. We walk through application, side effects, what to track, and when to call us.
eRx, fax (323-348-4213), or phone. We confirm within 30 minutes.
We bill your plan first. If denied, you get our cash price — typically 30–60% below market.
Prepared by hand in our lab, in the strength and base your prescriber specified.
Pickup in store or ask about local delivery — we'll confirm timing when your order is placed.
Bioidentical hormone preparations compounded to prescriber specification in our PCAB-accredited lab. USP <800> containment for NIOSH-listed hormones. Call (323) 348-4205 to transfer a prescription or speak with a pharmacist.
Sometimes, but not always. Many plans don't cover compounded hormones — they're considered "non-essential" by some PBMs. We bill your insurance first; if denied, we can quote a cash price after reviewing your prescription, depending on strength and base. We can also help submit prior authorization paperwork if your prescriber wants to appeal.
Turnaround depends on dosage form and complexity — non-sterile and sterile compounds follow different workflows. We'll confirm timing when you call or when we receive the prescription.
Per USP <795> guidelines, most non-sterile BHRT compounds carry a 90 – 180 day BUD depending on the base and active ingredient. The exact date is printed on your label. After that date, the compound may have lost potency and should not be used.
Yes — that's the whole point of compounding. Whatever your prescriber writes, we make. If the formula is unusual or new to us, our pharmacists will consult with the prescriber on excipients, vehicle, and stability before preparing.
If you have a current Rx, yes. You can transfer it through our transfer flow or have your prescriber fax (323-348-4213). For new BHRT patients, we'll need a valid prescription on file before we can dispense.
Chemically, bioidentical hormones have the same molecular structure as the hormones your body produces. Many commercial products (oral micronized progesterone, estradiol patches) are also bioidentical. What compounding adds is custom-dosing and dosage form flexibility — strengths and bases not commercially available.
If your prescriber has already written the script, you can transfer to TFC by phone or our transfer form. If you're a prescriber and want to consult on a new protocol, we'd love to talk.
