Solaray Female Hormone Blend SP-7C® — Information Guide
Solaray Female Hormone Blend SP-7C® is an OTC botanical supplement marketed for hormone support during menopause/perimenopause. This page is educational. Voshell's Pharmacy does not sell or endorse this product.
Key Safety Considerations
- This product contains botanical ingredients (such as black cohosh, chaste tree, and other herbs) that may have estrogenic or hormonal activity.
- Patients already on prescription HRT (estradiol, progesterone) should consult their prescriber before adding phytoestrogenic OTC supplements as hormone levels may become unpredictable.
- Black cohosh and other botanicals may interact with liver enzyme pathways, potentially affecting how prescription medications are metabolized.
- Patients on blood thinners, thyroid medication, antidepressants, or statins should consult a prescriber before adding botanical hormone supplements as these may be interaction-prone due to the presence of multiple herbs.
- Overall, because these products contain multiple botanical ingredients, prescriber review may be appropriate before use. OTC botanical supplements have not been evaluated by the FDA for safety or efficacy.
⚠ Do not use OTC botanical supplements as a substitute for prescriber-supervised hormone therapy. If menopausal symptoms are affecting quality of life, a licensed prescriber can evaluate the appropriate options.
When Compounded Options May Be Considered
When a prescriber determines that hormone therapy is appropriate, patient-specific compounded preparations are prepared pursuant to a valid prescription for an individual patient— unlike OTC botanicals.
