According to Marla Ahlgrimm, the idea to focus on women’s health began in the late 1970s, when Marla Ahlgrimm and her colleagues worked to help one woman who had been suffering with severe premenstrual syndrome (PMS) for two weeks out of every month. “There was no diagnosis or treatment options for her symptoms in the U.S. except tranquilizers, antidepressants, or a hysterectomy,” Marla Ahlgrimm recalls. “Through our own research, we identified her symptoms as PMS and as pharmacists, worked with her doctor to develop a natural progesterone prescription for her. She was the first to use natural progesterone in the U.S.”

Marla Ahlgrimm was surprised when the term PMS caught on and became part of mainstream medicine. As news of her work began to spread, Marla Ahlgrimm co- founded Madison Pharmacy Associates, making it the first pharmacy in the country to focus on women’s health.

With sensitive diagnostic testing and customized prescriptions, Marla Ahlgrimm has offered treatment options for women dealing with a variety of hormone related concerns, including PMS, perimenopause, and menopause. These medications include natural replacement for decreased estrogen, DHEA, thyroid, and more.

Instead of prescribing traditional “one size fits all” drug therapy, Marla Ahlgrimm customizes each prescription to the needs of each patient. Hormones are available in a variety of dosage forms including capsules, tablets, transdermal and vaginal creams, and patches. As a licensed pharmacist, Marla Ahlgrimm and her staff work with each patient and her doctor to find the method that best fits her health needs.

Pharmacist Marla Ahlgrimm founded Women’s Health America, as her companies grew. She consults with patients about the influence of a healthy lifestyle on hormone levels and symptoms. In fact, Marla Ahlgrimm helps patients develop a self-care plan as the foundation of any hormone replacement program that is undertaken. This plan can include changes in diet and exercise, over-the-counter nutritional supplements, and stress management.

“Long before the term ‘women’s health’ even existed, we were listening to women tell us about their health concerns—what they need, what works for them, and what doesn’t,” Marla Ahlgrimm reports. “That shared history and experience forms the foundation for all of our products and services.”

At Madison Pharmacy Associates, Marla Ahlgrimm’s staff of consulting pharmacists, nurses, and health educators represented more than 100 years of combined experience in women’s health. Patients received free updates on breakthroughs in women’s health, as well as revolutionary products that can help patients lead healthier lives. Madison Pharmacy Associates was sold in 2011.

Marla Ahlgrimm is also the co-founder and President of Cyclin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The company sells proprietary products for the women’s health market as well as ProCycle PMS and ProCycle Gold products.

A graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Marla Ahlgrimm, R.Ph. has co-authored two books on women’s issues—The HRT Solution and Self-Help for Premenstrual Syndrome. Based in Madison, Wisconsin, Marla Ahlgrimm can also help with bone loss, antiaging, and men’s issues.
