Synthetic Hormones Market is poised to gain momentum as Theramex and TherapeuticsMD get approval for their capsules in Belgium and the U.K.
On the geographical front, the high prevalence of
thyroid-associated disorders is cited as a reason for expansion of the synthetic
hormones market in the North American region. About 20% of the U.S. citizens
have some type of thyroid disorder over their lifetime in 2020, as per the
report from the American Thyroid Association (ATA). Similarly, the Asia Pacific
region is also witnessing a major traction in the synthetic hormones market due
to increasing population, rising health awareness, and growing expenditure on the
healthcare sector.
When women are given estrogen replacement therapy, in
order to help with menopausal symptoms, synthetic hormones are often prescribed
as well. Synthetic hormones are essentially hormone-like compounds that act
very similar to those produced naturally by the body. The synthetic and
authentic hormones generally work very similar to each other but are also
different in molecular structure. There are several differences between the
two, so you should be aware of them when deciding whether or not to take
hormone replacement therapy. Synthetic Hormones are not approved by the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as drugs, and they are not well-regulated
when used improperly. For instance, in April 2021, two leading healthcare companies
for women, Theramex and TherapeuticsMD had announced that FAMHP (Federal Agency
for Medicines and Health Products) and MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products
Regulatory Agency) have approved their BIJUVA Capsules developed for hormone
replacement procedures in Belgium and the U.K., respectively.
A common case where many doctors are prescribing
synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms is where a woman is experiencing hot
flashes. In many cases, doctors will prescribe women an oral anti-estrogen to
help alleviate the symptoms associated with hot flashes. An anti-estrogen is
typically derived from synthetic hormones. There are two different classes of
anti-estrogens; these are alpha and beta estrogens, and the most commonly
prescribed are the alpha type. In recent years, there has been a great deal of
research done on natural alternatives to synthetic hormones.
Growing cases of hormonal imbalances along with
incidences of uneven menstrual cycles in women across the globe are sparking a
ray of hope for the synthetic hormones market’s expansion. Although, one of the
major limiting factors of the synthetic
hormones market is the cost of hormonal replacement therapies.
According to the National Center for Biotechnology information (NCBI), monthly
medication costs for hormonal therapies range from US$ 400 to US$ 500 as of
2021.
