Estriol Compounding at Medrocs Pharmacy

Estriol (E3) is one of the gentlest bioidentical estrogens used in hormone therapy. It supports vaginal comfort, skin health, and overall hormone balance. At Medrocs Pharmacy, we compound estriol into custom strengths and dosage forms so your provider can tailor your therapy to your exact needs.

We also prepare a topical estriol cream for the face, designed to support smoother, brighter, more hydrated skin.

What Is Estriol?

striol is a naturally occurring estrogen that becomes more important during perimenopause and menopause. It is known for its gentle, tissue‑supporting effects, especially in:

  • Vaginal tissue

  • Skin hydration

  • Skin elasticity

  • Urinary comfort

  • Menopausal symptom relief

Many providers choose estriol when they want a softer estrogen option or when they want to support specific tissues.

Why Some Women Use Compounded Estriol

Compounded estriol may be helpful when:

  • You need a specific strength not sold commercially

  • You prefer a cream or capsule

  • You want a Bi‑Est blend (estriol + estradiol)

  • You need a dye‑free or preservative‑free option

  • Your provider wants to adjust your dose in small, precise steps

  • You want a topical estriol cream for facial skin

Compounding gives your provider more flexibility to match your therapy to your body.
