Pharmacodynamics of Hormone Support

Meaning

Pharmacodynamics describes the study of the biochemical and physiological effects of hormone support compounds—whether bioidentical hormones, selective receptor modulators, or precursor molecules—on the body and the mechanisms of their action. In the clinical context, it focuses on how a specific dose and route of administration translates into a measurable biological response at the target tissue level, considering factors like receptor density and downstream signaling cascade activation. Understanding pharmacodynamics is essential for titrating personalized hormone regimens.
