Compounding Pharmacy

[ElisabethA]

I'm trying to find a compounding pharmacy to renew my prescription for bio identical hormones, does any one know if such a thing exists out here, I'm based on Samui but travel to Bangkok fairly regularly.

I'm also looking for a supplier of Maximum Vibrance powder.

Unfortunately google hasn't been able to help with either search.

Thanks guys.

No such thing as stand alone compounding pharmacies in Thailand AFAIK.

However some hospital-based anti-aging depts produce their own compounds. Might be able to get what you need at Vita Life https://www.bumrungrad.com/en/wellness-antiaging-vitallife though it will be costly.

If all you are after is estradiol and progesterone:

1- Estradiol = Oestrogel is available in most Thai pharmacies and is pure estradiol in gel form. Bio-identical estrogen.

2. The progesterone is the problem. I think you can get it at Vita Life. May also be able to get it from http://medconsultclinic.wix.com/medconsult#!menopause-creams/c4er

Thanks so much Sheryl, will give them a call.

I also take 2 grains of T3/T4 orally and 2.5mg testosterone transdermally, are these readily available?

If the T3/T4 is thyroid extract (from pigs) then yes, that can be bought locally. But if it is a bio-identical preparation then not only can you not buy it, there isn't anyplace I know of in Thailand where you can get it, though it is worth asking Vita Life. (the T3/T4 ratio in pig thyroid, which is what commercial thyroid extract is, differs significantly from human).

Androgel is a transdermal testosterone available OTC in Thailand. You'll need to read the label carefully so as to be able to adjust the dosage properly. It comes in 5 gram tubes of 50 mg so 10mg= 1 gram, i.e. you'd need to use just 1/5 of a gram (i.e. a 5 gram tube should last 25 days). Possible that Vita Life has a more dilute/easier to calibrate preparation.
