Gender Affirming Hormone Therapy

At Medimix Compound Pharmacy, we are dedicated to providing inclusive, compassionate, and personalized gender-affirming hormone therapy to support you throughout your transition journey. Our experienced compounding pharmacists work collaboratively with healthcare providers across Canada to prepare custom hormone therapies tailored to your unique needs and preferences.

What is Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy?

Gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) is a medical approach that helps align an individual’s physical traits with their gender identity. Whether your goals include feminizing or masculinizing effects, hormone therapy can play a vital role in helping you feel more comfortable in your body and more aligned with your sense of self.

How Does GAHT Work?

GAHT involves introducing hormones that support the development of desired physical characteristics. Results vary from person to person and evolve gradually over time. At Medimix, we work in partnership with your healthcare provider to ensure your hormone levels are safely and effectively managed throughout your transition.
