Hormonal Preparations

Meaning

Hormonal Preparations are pharmaceutical agents formulated to contain bioidentical or synthetic hormones, designed for administration to modulate, replace, or suppress endogenous endocrine function within the body. These preparations encompass a wide range of therapeutic compounds, including steroid hormones like estrogens, androgens, and progestins, as well as peptide hormones such as insulin and Growth Hormone. Clinically, they are prescribed to treat various endocrine disorders, manage symptoms of hormone deficiency or excess, and serve as contraceptives. The precise dosing and delivery method of these preparations are critical for achieving the desired physiological outcome and minimizing potential side effects.
