What is a Common Biest Starting Dose? | PYHP 100
b'Alexis Question:\\xa0\\nHi there, this forum is fabulous. Thank you. I am so confused with dosing. How much is one gram of Biet in mL \\u2013 milliliters. So confusing. I use a one mL syringe. One mL is a lot of cream. It is an eighty-twenty ratio and I will split the dose. Reading that your recommended starting dose is three milligrams, how much exactly is that in cream in terms of milliliters or MLs? That cannot be three MLs, that would be three syringes. Sorry to be daft. I have tried to find the answer on Google but nothing is making sense to me. Maybe that is why I need bioidentical hormones. Anyway, Help. Thank you, Alexis.\\nShort Answer:\\xa0\\n1 gram is equal to 1 mL. \\nA BHRT prescription can be written in either mg/gram or mg/mL. For example, when we call in prescriptions to a compounding pharmacy, let\\u2019s say the Biest prescription is 3 mg/gram with an 80/20 ratio. This is the same as 3 mg/mL with an 80/20 ratio. The instruction we give the patient is to apply 1/2 gram, twice per day. If the patient is using a Topi-Click device, 1/2 gram is equal to 2 clicks. We like to have the patient apply 1/2 gram because they have to apply much less cream to the skin. We always recommend women apply their Biest to the inner thigh. We don\\u2019t recommend applying Biest to the arms, forearms, wrists, abdomen, or vaginally. If the patient is having any vaginal dryness, then we will provide separate Estriol (E3) prescription that can be used vaginally. We don\\u2019t like to have patients apply Estradiol (E2) vaginally, especially if they still have a uterus.\\nPYHP 100 Full Transcript:\\nDownload PYHP 100 Transcript\\nDr. Maki: Hello, everyone.
