Bio-identical hormones (BHRT)
What are bio-identical hormones?
Bioidentical hormones are substances that have exactly the same chemical structure as the hormones naturally produced in our bodies. They are only available on prescription and differ from synthetic hormones, which are similar in structure to natural hormones but are not identical. These medicines are carefully prepared and checked in our pharmacy, so you can be sure of safe treatment. This therapy can be used in both men and women when hormone levels drop or become disrupted.How can bio-identical hormones help you?Â
Many women experience various symptoms during menopause, such as hot flashes, mood swings, sleep problems, and reduced vitality. Hormonal changes can also cause symptoms in men.Â

- Personalized approach: standard treatments do not always provide the desired results. With bioidentical hormones, your specific symptoms, hormone levels, and even genetic factors are taken into account so that the treatment is tailored to your needs.
- Reduction of side effects: because the medication is precisely tailored to your needs, unnecessary side effects are minimized as much as possible.
- Improved quality of life: well-tailored hormone therapy can restore your energy levels and improve your overall well-being.
Hormones and the ageing process
As well as alleviating menopausal symptoms, hormones also play an important role in the ageing process. Maintaining the right balance of hormones can contribute to a healthier ageing process, also known as anti-ageing or healthy ageing.

Our pharmacy preparations offer quality and customisationÂ
Bij infinity pharma staat maatwerk voorop. Wij bieden een breed scala aan bereidingen die zijn afgestemd op uw specifieke situatie. Een belangrijk aspect van onze bereidingen is het gebruik van transdermale toediening, waardoor de hormonen direct via de huid in het bloed komen. Dit voorkomt dat ze eerst in de maag en lever worden afgebroken (het zogeheten first-pass-effect) en verhoogt de effectiviteit van de behandeling.ÂDoor farmaceutische vehikels te gebruiken, maken we het bereidingsproces eenvoudiger en verbeteren we de kwaliteit van onze bereidingen. We gebruiken hiervoor verschillende transdermale crème basissen. Deze basissen dringen goed door de huid, worden snel opgenomen en bevatten alleen huidvriendelijke ingrediĂ«nten. Ook zijn ze vrij van parfum of parabenen. Voorbeelden van deze basissen zijn:Â
- Pentravan® is een transdermale crèmebasis die speciaal ontwikkeld is om de hormonen effectief door de huid te laten dringen.Â
- Dilucap® is een lijn van hulpstoffen die ons in staat stelt om nauwkeurig afgestemde capsules te bereiden.

Our pharmacy preparations offer quality and customisationÂ
At infinity pharma, customisation is our top priority. We offer a wide range of preparations that are tailored to your specific situation. An important aspect of our preparations is the use of transdermal administration, which allows the hormones to enter the blood directly through the skin. This prevents them from being broken down in the stomach and liver (the so-called first-pass effect) and increases the effectiveness of the treatment.ÂBy using pharmaceutical vehicles, we simplify the preparation process and improve the quality of our preparations. We use various transdermal cream bases for this. These bases penetrate the skin well, are quickly absorbed and contain only skin-friendly ingredients. They are also free of perfume and parabens. Examples of these bases are:Â
- Pentravan® is a transdermal cream base that has been specially developed to allow hormones to penetrate the skin effectively.Â
- Dilucap® is a line of excipients that allows us to prepare precisely matched capsules.
With over 400 pharmacists within Fagron, we are focused on providing a unique range of high-quality products based on scientific data and insights. The Fagron Brands are unique concepts developed by our R&D specialists to provide pharmacies and clients with exclusive pharmaceutical dosage forms and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). We can provide solutions for all steps inside a compounding setting, either equipment, excipients, APIs, packaging, and much more.
