Online hrt therapy is an option for both new and existing patients. New patients considering hormone therapy can have all of their questions answered and make a determination as to whether they are an appropriate candidate for therapy. Existing patients who are already on a hrt therapy protocol can seamlessly migrate to an online hrt clinic without having to interrupt their current protocol. Existing hrt patients will still be required to complete a hormone blood test panel. Existing male patients will need to ensure that the blood test is taken 5 days after prior administration of a hormone therapy protocol. Existing female patients will be asked to take their blood test within days 12 to 23 of their respective hormone cycle. This will ensure that a proper level is measured as it relates to hormones. online hrt therapy
