PELLETS—THE ULTIMATE HORMONE THERAPY
PELLETS are made up of either Estradiol or Testosterone compressed into very small solid cylinders. They are custom made by compounding pharmacists and come in sterile glass vials.
Insertion of Pellets is a simple office procedure done under local anesthesia. They are usually inserted through a small incision in the lower abdominal wall or hip. There may be slight discomfort or minor bruising. Experience of the health care practitioner is important. The Pellets completely dissolve over time and removal is unnecessary.
Pellets provide consistent, physiologic levels of hormones. Pellets avoid the fluctuations of hormone levels seen with every other method of delivery.
In patients who have not received desired results from other types of hormone therapy, pellets are successful.
PELLETS DO NOT INCREASE THE RISK OF BREAST CANCER like high does of oral Estrogen or the synthetic Progestins. Data supports that balanced homones are breast protective.
Most patients feel a difference within 24-48 hours, while others take up to 10-14 days.
DATA—There is data to support the use of pellets over other methods. Check out our website for a link to full-text articles.
WORLDWIDE USE—Pellets are not patented or marketed in the United States. They are frequently used in Europe and Australia where most of the data originates. Pellets were used in the U.S. from 1938 until the 1970’s when patented estrogens were marketed to the public.
FREQUENCY—Pellets are inserted 2 to 3 times a year. The cost varies between $320 and up to $680 (in men) depending on the dose of hormone and the number of pellets inserted. Men need a much larger dose of testosterone than women.
TESTING—Hormone levels will be drawn and evaluated before therapy. These may include FSH, estradiol, testosterone, free and total in women. Men need a PSA, estradiol, testosterone, blood count and possibly liver enzymes if on statins or other drugs that affect the liver. Levels will also be re-evaluated during hormone therapy.
