Menopause Pharmacist LLC
Are you confused by all the medications used in midlife and menopause? While it's good that we're seeing more awareness for menopause, it can be difficult to know what is true and what is not.
I'm here to help.
(and I’m not going to sell you anything!)
As a board certified doctor of pharmacy with over 20 years of experience, I'm here to offer you an evidence-based approach to understanding medications in menopause. I can help you advocate for yourself when you visit your health care provider and ensure you're getting the best possible treatment.
