At Medimix Compound Pharmacy in Langley, we believe every young person deserves the chance to grow into their authentic self with support, compassion, and access to affirming healthcare. Our team specializes in customized, gender-affirming therapy for transgender and nonbinary youth across British Columbia and Canada, including puberty blockers, testosterone blockers, and estrogen therapies. We’re here to work alongside families and healthcare providers to ensure youth feel seen, heard, and safe at every stage of their journey.
Gender-affirming therapy for transgender and nonbinary youth involves medical treatments that support alignment between one’s physical development and gender identity. These treatments may include puberty blockers to pause unwanted pubertal changes and allow more time for self-exploration, or gender-affirming hormones like testosterone or estrogen as part of later care.
What are puberty blockers?
Medications such as leuprolide acetate temporarily stop the body’s natural hormone changes—delaying things like menstruation or voice deepening. This pause provides a powerful opportunity for youth to navigate their identity without pressure from irreversible physical changes.
At Medimix, we treat this as essential care—designed with each individual’s needs and pace in mind.
This kind of care doesn’t change who someone is—it supports who they’ve always been.
For youth experiencing gender dysphoria, puberty blockers and hormone therapies can significantly reduce distress, improve mental well-being, and create space for confident self-expression. Whether it’s preventing early breast growth or allowing for a more gender-affirming voice change later, every step is taken with intention and care.
Our pharmacists offer respectful, knowledgeable service and tailor medication to meet each person’s goals in partnership with their healthcare team.
How they work
Puberty blockers act by temporarily pausing the body’s hormone production, preventing physical changes like menstruation or facial hair development.
Who they help
They’re often used by transgender, nonbinary, or questioning youth who want more time before making decisions about permanent physical changes.
How long can you take them?
Typically, puberty blockers are used for up to four years, though duration varies. Longer use may affect bone density, which is why regular monitoring is important.
These treatments are monitored closely to ensure the benefits outweigh any risks—our pharmacists help ensure every dose is prepared with precision and care.
When prescribed and monitored by qualified healthcare providers, puberty blockers are considered safe and effective.
Benefits include:
Reduction in anxiety related to unwanted puberty changes
More time to explore identity before starting hormone therapy
Prevention of physical changes that may later cause distress
Possible side effects:
Mood shifts or emotional sensitivity
Temporary reduction in bone density
Slowed growth rate (height) in some youth
At Medimix, our pharmacists stay in close communication with providers and families to ensure all treatments are well-balanced, safe, and empowering.
As youth progress in their journey, many may begin testosterone or estrogen therapy to align their physical features with their identity.
Testosterone therapy may:
Deepen the voice
Increase muscle mass
Encourage body and facial hair growth
Estrogen therapy may:
Soften skin and facial features
Redistribute fat to the hips and chest
Decrease body hair and muscle bulk
