Mai Tran, PharmD

Mai Tran is a Doctor of Pharmacy and Golden Leaf Health’s compounding pharmacist advisor. When a patient’s plan calls for a compounded hormone preparation, she is the specialist who advises the care team on the formulation, the dosing form and what to watch for.

What a compounding pharmacist does here

A compounding pharmacy prepares a medication for one patient from a prescription. Instead of dispensing a standard product made in a factory, the pharmacist makes the medication at the exact strength written on the prescription. A compounding pharmacist can also combine two hormones in one cream or capsule, or leave out an ingredient a patient reacts to.

Golden Leaf Health uses compounding when a patient needs a dose or form that isn’t made commercially, is allergic to an ingredient in a standard product, or can’t get a product because it is in short supply. Mai advises the care team on the formulation and dosing form, and makes sure you know what is in your prescription and how to take it.

“One of the things that sets us apart is our expertise in customized formulations of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Every patient is unique, which is why we tailor treatments to their specific needs. It brings me so much joy to see patients feeling better and living their best lives because of the care we provide.”
