Men’s & Women’s Hormone Therapy
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy in Peoria, IL
Hormones affect nearly every system in the body, so when they fall out of balance, it can show up in ways that are easy to dismiss as “just getting older” or “just stress.” At Preckshot Professional Pharmacy, we work with men and women across Illinois to build compounded bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) plans that are matched to each patient’s own hormone levels, symptoms, and goals, not a one-size-fits-all dose off a shelf.
Our pharmacists, including Mark Probasco, who has focused on bio-identical hormone consulting for much of his career, work alongside your prescriber to translate lab work and symptoms into a compounded formulation and dosage form that actually fits your life. You can read more about our pharmacists’ backgrounds here.
Hormone Therapy for Women
Perimenopause and menopause bring a wide range of symptoms, hot flashes, mood swings, sleep trouble, low libido, and changes in bone density among them, and they don’t always respond to a standard-dose prescription. We compound estrogen and progesterone (and other hormones, as prescribed) into creams, troches, or capsules, so women can get relief in a form and strength that matches their actual hormone levels rather than a generic starting dose.
Common reasons women come to us for BHRT include:
- Menopause and perimenopause symptom management
- Low estrogen or progesterone
- Mood balance and sleep support
- Bone health support alongside hormone therapy
- Custom cream, troche, or capsule forms based on absorption and preference
Hormone Therapy for Men
Low testosterone, sometimes called andropause, can bring on fatigue, low mood, reduced muscle tone, and a drop in libido that men often chalk up to just getting older. Compounded testosterone therapy lets us dial in a dose and delivery method, cream, gel, or another form, based on your prescriber’s plan and your own response to treatment, rather than a fixed commercial strength.
Personalized Testing, Dosing, and Local Support
BHRT isn’t a “set it and forget it” prescription. As your labs and symptoms change, your compounded formulation may need to change with them. We work directly with local Illinois practitioners and prescribers to adjust dosing over time, and because we’re a short drive from most of central Illinois, follow-up consultations and refills are easy to coordinate. If you don’t yet have a prescriber who works with compounded hormones, contact us and we’re happy to point you toward practitioners we work with regularly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT)?
BHRT uses hormones that are structurally identical to the ones your body naturally produces. Compounding allows us to combine and dose these hormones specifically for you, rather than relying on a fixed commercial strength.
Do I need a prescription for compounded hormone therapy?
Yes. Compounded hormone therapy requires a prescription from a licensed practitioner. We work with your existing prescriber, or can refer you to one of the local Illinois practitioners we partner with regularly.
How long does it take to feel results?
This varies by patient and by symptom. Some people notice changes within a few weeks, while others need a dosage adjustment or two before finding the right fit. Our pharmacists will work with you and your prescriber throughout that process.
Is compounded hormone therapy safe?
Yes, when prepared by a licensed, accredited compounding pharmacy. We follow strict USP-compliant compounding standards for every formulation we prepare.
