Hormone Replacement Therapy
McKenzies Compounding Chemist is your trusted partner for personalised hormone replacement therapy in Perth. We understand that hormonal health is unique to each individual, which is why we compound tailored HRT solutions using high-quality ingredients, designed to restore balance and improve your overall well-being.
WHAT IS HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY?
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a treatment used to restore hormone levels that have declined due to ageing, medical conditions, or hormonal imbalances. When the body’s natural hormone production drops, it can lead to a range of physical and emotional symptoms that affect daily life and long-term health.
For women, this often involves estrogen-only, combined HRT, or systemic HRT to relieve menopausal symptoms such as night sweats, vaginal bleeding, bladder issues, joint pain, or itchy skin. These therapies help restore hormonal balance and improve overall well-being during menopause and beyond.
For men, testosterone therapy is used to address declining male hormone levels, helping to restore energy, libido, mental clarity, and muscle mass, while also supporting emotional well-being and physical performance.
WHY CHOOSE HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY?
When hormone levels shift or decline, it can take a toll on you and your overall health. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) offers a way to restore balance, easing symptoms like hot flushes, fatigue, mood changes, and more.
At McKenzie’s Compounding Chemist, we tailor every HRT formulation to your specific needs, using high-quality bioidentical hormones and working closely with your doctor to ensure the safest, most effective outcome.
Custom-Compounded HRT to Suit Your Needs
From menopause and perimenopause to testosterone deficiency, our tailored HRT services address a wide spectrum of hormone-related conditions. We recognise that off-the-shelf medications don’t always provide the right fit.
That’s why we compound personalised hormone therapies, adjusting dosage forms, strengths, and delivery methods to suit each individual. The result is a more precise, targeted approach designed to help you feel your best safely and naturally.
COMMON APPLICATIONS OF HRT AT MCKENZIE’S
Menopause
As estrogen levels decline, many women experience challenging symptoms such as hot flushes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances. Our compounded menopausal hormone therapy is designed to treat menopausal symptoms and support long-term well-being by restoring hormonal balance and helping protect against issues like bone loss.
Perimenopause
Hormone fluctuations during the transition into menopause, or in cases of early menopause, can lead to a range of unpredictable symptoms. Our personalised hormone therapy helps support your body through these changes, easing discomfort and improving your day-to-day wellbeing.
Low Testosterone in Men
Testosterone levels naturally decline with age, often leading to symptoms like fatigue, low libido, and reduced mental clarity. Our personalised testosterone therapy is formulated to help men regain energy, confidence, and hormonal stability, supporting both physical and emotional well-being.
Fertility & Pregnancy Support
Hormonal imbalances can impact fertility and the early stages of pregnancy. We compound progesterone and other hormone treatments to support conception and help maintain a healthy pregnancy, with every formulation prepared under medical supervision to ensure safety and precision.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) works by supplementing your body with hormones, such as oestrogen, progesterone, or testosterone, that have declined due to ageing or medical conditions. These hormones help rebalance your system and reduce symptoms like hot flushes, fatigue, mood swings, or low libido.
At McKenzies, your HRT is compounded to match your specific needs, with personalised doses and delivery methods prescribed by your healthcare provider.
Like any medication, HRT comes with side effects for some people. These may include breast tenderness, bloating, mood changes, or mild spotting, especially during the early stages of treatment. However uncommon, there is a breast cancer risk and blood clots, but these should be discussed with your doctor before starting therapy.
If you have any concerns or questions, please contact our team or your GP.
Common signs that you may benefit from HRT include hot flushes, night sweats, sleep issues, mood swings, low libido, vaginal dryness, or a noticeable drop in energy.
For men, low testosterone may also cause fatigue, weight gain, and irritability. If these symptoms are affecting your quality of life, speak to your doctor; they can assess your hormone levels and determine if HRT is right for you.
HRT may not be suitable for everyone. Women with a history of breast cancer, unexplained vaginal bleeding, active liver disease, or a high risk of blood clots, as well as those with a concern for ovarian cancer, may need to consider alternative treatments.
Similarly, men with certain hormone-sensitive conditions should be assessed carefully. Your GP will evaluate your medical history and risk factors before recommending any hormone therapy.
Yes, moderate alcohol consumption is generally safe while on HRT. However, excessive drinking can impact hormone metabolism and may increase certain risks, such as breast cancer or liver strain.
It’s best to discuss your drinking habits with your doctor if you’re thinking of starting or currently taking HRT.
