Hormone replacement therapy treats menopause symptoms with estrogen and, for women with a uterus, a progestogen; testosterone replacement therapy treats men with diagnosed low testosterone.
What to sort out before you book
Hormone care in Tampa can come from a gynecologist, urologist or primary care doctor who bills insurance, or from a cash-only men's clinic, menopause telehealth service or pellet practice. The two questions that separate them: does the clinic follow the FDA label and professional guidelines, and does its price include labs. Tampa has 413,554 residents, 13.7% of them 65 or older [5], and many of those patients will also want a doctor who coordinates with Medicare.

Menopause hormone therapy in Tampa
FDA approved updated labels for 6 menopausal hormone therapy products on February 12, 2026, after HHS announced it would drop boxed-warning language about heart disease, breast cancer and probable dementia [7] [8]. The endometrial cancer boxed warning remains on systemic estrogen-alone products [8]. The Menopause Society says hormone therapy's benefits outweigh its risks for most healthy women with symptoms who are under 60 or within 10 years of menopause [9].
Generic options are cheap at the pharmacy counter. Telehealth menopause services add visit or membership fees: Evernow memberships start at $35 a month [10]. Compare more on online HRT and see the menopause specialist guide.

Testosterone is approved for men whose low testosterone comes from primary hypogonadism or hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, not for age-related decline [13]. The AUA looks for total testosterone below 300 ng/dL on two tests, plus symptoms [14]. Some online clinics prescribe enclomiphene instead; ask whether a product is FDA-approved, and see enclomiphene.
Pellets and compounded creams
Biote, a large pellet network, reported more than 9,200 trained practitioners and 5,300 partner clinics at the end of 2025, and its own filing says FDA does not verify the safety or effectiveness of compounded products [16]. The National Academies advised limiting compounded bioidentical hormones to patients who cannot use an approved product [17]. Read the Biote review and pellet cost page.
How to check a Florida hormone clinic
- Confirm the prescriber's license with the Florida Board of Medicine [4].
- If the clinic dispenses compounded hormones, ask which pharmacy makes them and check it with the Florida Board of Pharmacy [18].
- Watch for referral deals. Florida's patient brokering law makes paying or receiving kickbacks for patient referrals a felony, with exceptions [6].
- Ask for the full price, including labs and follow-up visits, in writing.

Testosterone safety
FDA added a blood pressure warning to all testosterone products in 2025 [19]. In the TRAVERSE trial, testosterone did not raise major heart events versus placebo, but pulmonary embolism, atrial fibrillation and acute kidney injury were more common [20]. Gels carry a boxed warning: children have developed virilization after touching application sites [13]. Call 911 for chest pain or sudden shortness of breath.
