Bioidentical hormones are processed hormones designed to mimic the hormones made by your body’s glands. Taking bioidentical hormones can help people who experience symptoms of low or unbalanced hormones. This is often the case for people experiencing symptoms of perimenopause or menopause.

Hormones affect many systems and functions in your body. Even the slightest imbalance can cause symptoms that interfere with your day.

Bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) uses processed hormones that come from plants. Estrogen, progesterone and testosterone are the most commonly used bioidentical hormones.

One study suggests that approximately 1 to 2.5 million women in the U.S. over age 40 are using compounded bioidentical hormones.

Both the FDA-approved and compounded hormones come in various doses and forms (pills, creams, gels, sprays and vaginal inserts).

Your risk of severe low blood pressure and fainting (loss of consciousness) is increased if you take ADDYI and:
-Drink alcohol close in time to when you take your ADDYI dose.
-Wait at least 2 hours after drinking 1 or 2 standard alcoholic drinks before taking ADDYI at bedtime.
Examples of 1 standard alcoholic drink include: one 12-ounce regular beer, 5 ounces of wine, 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits or shot.
If you drink 3 or more standard alcoholic drinks in the evening, skip your ADDYI dose at bedtime.
-After you have taken your ADDYI at bedtime, do not drink alcohol until the following day.
-Do not take or start taking any prescription medicines, over-the-counter medicines, or herbal supplements while taking ADDYI until you have talked with your doctor. Your doctor will tell you if it is safe to take other medicines or herbal supplements while you are taking ADDYI.
-Do not take ADDYI if you have liver problems.
-If you take ADDYI and you feel lightheaded or dizzy, lie down right away.
