At Physicians Preference Pharmacy, we are committed to providing you with the highest-quality compounded medications and ensuring optimal outcomes with your treatment. We pride ourselves on maintaining the strictest quality standards in compounding to ensure your well-being and satisfaction.

As part of our commitment to your care, we recently conducted a market analysis of local pharmacies and discovered five prevalent myths that we want to debunk together.Today in our Myth Series, we will discuss our fifth myth:

MYTH #5: All Hormones are Basically the Same.

Reality: The quality of hormones can vary significantly. If you find yourself requiring frequent adjustments, it may be due to the quality of your hormones. At Physicians Preference Pharmacy, we go above and beyond state requirements by sending multiple hormone and other compounded preparation samples to an external lab for potency testing. This rigorous process ensures that you receive the precise amount of active ingredients prescribed, nothing more, nothing less, consistently month after month.

We hold ourselves to the highest standards, and our commitment to precision is reflected in our results. Our own potency testing reveals a mere 5% variance, demonstrating our unwavering dedication to delivering the exact hormones you need. In contrast, the market analysis of other pharmacies revealed variances ranging from no active ingredient to a staggering 400% higher than normal active ingredient in a capsule. Results like that can definitely affect the way you feel, and you will not respond well to your treatment. Imagine getting no active ingredient one month then 400% of the active ingredient the next. The stark reality is that this is happening simply because not all pharmacies have such strict quality control.

Your well-being is our top priority, and we understand that the quality of your compounded hormones directly affects how you feel and respond to treatment. By partnering with Physicians Preference Pharmacy, you can trust that our medications are meticulously compounded to meet your unique needs, giving you the confidence to embrace a healthier and happier life.
