Women’s health needs change over time—and sometimes, so should the treatments. At Wingate’s Pharmacy, we specialize in custom-compounded medications for women, with a particular focus on bioidentical hormone therapy tailored to each patient’s individual needs and life stage.
Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, menopause, fertility challenges, postpartum recovery, or hormone-related conditions, we’re here to support you with medications designed specifically for your body, your symptoms, and your goals, under the guidance of your healthcare provider.
Customized Hormone Therapy for Every Stage of Life
Hormonal balance plays a crucial role in a woman’s physical, emotional, and reproductive health. When imbalances occur, they may contribute to a wide range of symptoms and conditions. Compounded hormone therapy may be part of a personalized treatment plan for:
- Perimenopause and menopause symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes)
- Irregular cycles or PMS
- Infertility or ovulatory disorders
- Postpartum hormone shifts
- Vaginal dryness or discomfort
- Low libido
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
- Endometriosis
- Premature ovarian insufficiency
- Hormone-related migraines
- Osteoporosis management support
Wingate’s Pharmacy compounds bioidentical hormones in a variety of customized dosages and forms as directed by your provider. These hormones are chemically similar to those produced naturally in the body and are prescribed based on lab values, symptom patterns, and personal health history.
Individualized Dosing & Personalized Formulations
Unlike standard hormone medications, compounded therapies can be adjusted to match your body’s specific needs and sensitivities. We work closely with your healthcare provider to:
- Customize estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, or thyroid hormones as needed
- Formulate unique combinations and dosages that are not commercially available
- Avoid ingredients such as gluten, lactose, dyes, or preservatives
- Offer hypoallergenic and preservative-free bases when possible
We also offer combination therapies that may help to reduce the number of products you need to take daily.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT)?
BHRT refers to the use of hormones that are structurally identical to those naturally produced by the body. These may be prescribed by your provider and compounded in customized dosages and delivery forms tailored to your individual needs.
Why would I choose compounded hormone therapy instead of a commercial product?
Some women may not tolerate commercial hormone medications due to fillers, fixed doses, or limited delivery options. Compounded therapy allows for flexibility in formulation, dose, and ingredient selection, based on your provider’s recommendation.
Do I need lab testing to receive compounded hormone therapy?
In most cases, yes. Your provider may recommend blood, saliva, or urine testing to assess hormone levels before prescribing a compounded hormone therapy. Wingate’s Pharmacy fills prescriptions based on your provider’s clinical assessment and can help review test results to offer suggestions if needed.
Can you combine multiple hormones into one cream or capsule?
Yes. We can prepare combination formulas such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone in a single cream, capsule, or troche with a prescription from your provider.
Are there options for women with sensitivities or allergies?
Absolutely. We can prepare hormone therapies free from dyes, gluten, soy, lactose, and preservatives. Be sure to notify your provider of any allergies or sensitivities so we can prepare your medication accordingly.
Is compounded hormone therapy only for menopause?
Not at all. Hormone imbalances can affect women of all ages. Compounded hormone therapy may be considered for conditions like PCOS, fertility challenges, postpartum recovery, or premature ovarian insufficiency.
How long will it take to feel a difference with hormone therapy?
Results vary widely. Some patients may notice changes within weeks, while others may take longer. Your provider will monitor your progress and make dosage adjustments as needed.
Hormonal shifts are a natural part of life, but that doesn’t mean you have to navigate them without support. Wingate’s Pharmacy is here to help you and your healthcare provider explore personalized options for compounded hormone therapy and women’s health solutions tailored to your stage of life and specific needs.
