“Our clinician readers tell us their patients are coming to them with many questions about bioidentical hormones,” said Margo Ullmann, publisher of The Female Patient. “We developed this program so that women across the country can get the facts from reputable sources. For example, many women don’t realize there are many FDA approved bioidentical hormones available at their local pharmacy. These medications are covered by most health insurance policies.”
