Hormones

What does the Hormones category include?

Hormone medicines are a broad therapeutic group that includes treatments which replace a missing hormone, reduce hormonal effects, or act like naturally occurring hormones. Established examples include thyroid hormones, insulin and other diabetes therapies, sex-hormone treatments, adrenal hormone replacements, and corticosteroids. These groups have different purposes and are not interchangeable, so the active ingredient, intended condition, dosage form, and prescriber's direction all matter when discussing an option.

What should you consider when comparing hormone medicines?

Start with the type of hormone pathway involved and the treatment goal set by a qualified prescriber. Some hormone therapies are intended for replacement, while others, such as corticosteroids, are used for their anti-inflammatory and immune-modifying effects. Oral tablets may suit some prescribed regimens, whereas injections, patches, inhalers, creams, and implants are used in other parts of this broad category. A different strength or dosage form does not automatically make one medicine a substitute for another.

What is relevant for customers in Canada?

Hormone-related medicines cover several prescription classes in Canada, and prescription status can differ by product. Oral methylprednisolone tablets require authorization from a qualified prescriber in Canada. Canadian authorization and current market status for a particular Medrol tablet strength and DIN should be checked in Health Canada's Drug Product Database; this is separate from the products we list and dispatch.
