Looking for ways to support skin health and renewal? Tretinoin, a vitamin A derivative, has been widely studied for its potential to:
- Increase skin cell turnover
- Improve texture and tone
- Address stubborn acne, fine lines, and sunspots

Available in multiple strengths, tretinoin can be tailored to individual needs, from beginners with sensitive skin to those targeting more advanced signs of aging.

⚠️ Like any treatment, it’s not one-size-fits-all. Tretinoin can cause irritation, dryness, and increased sun sensitivity, so consistent sunscreen use and guidance from a healthcare provider are essential.

💛 With proper use and monitoring, tretinoin may play a role in improving skin appearance and supporting overall skin health.

🔥 Living with pain isn’t the same as living with chronic pain.

We now understand that pain is more than a simple signal from an injury—it’s shaped by many factors, including:
🧠 Changes in the brain
⚡ Nervous system sensitivity
🌿 Immune system responses
🤝 Emotional and social influences

This shift in understanding means treatment can be more thoughtful and individualized. Through compounding, providers can access customized, non-opioid options designed to fit each patient’s unique needs, helping make pain management more personalized and adaptable.

Your journey with pain is unique, and your care should be as well.

🌿 Why Quality Matters in Nutritional Supplements 🌿

Nutritional deficiencies can impact various aspects of health, including energy, mood, immune function, and overall well-being. While supplements can help fill the gaps, not all supplements are created equal.

High-quality supplements are designed to:
✅ Provide reliable, consistent dosing
✅ Use forms of vitamins and minerals your body can actually absorb
✅ Avoid unnecessary fillers, dyes, and additives

Working with our pharmacist to select the right supplements ensures that you receive the highest-quality products to manage your health.

💊 When it comes to your health, quality makes all the difference.

🥦 Watch diet & habits—limit caffeine, alcohol, and avoid smoking

⚖️ Weight loss isn’t always as simple as diet and exercise.

Hormone shifts, insulin resistance, genetics, stress, and even poor sleep can all stand in the way of progress.

💡 The real solution? Getting to the root cause.

When lifestyle changes alone don’t deliver results, prescription medications paired with healthy habits may provide the added support you need. Talk with your healthcare provider to see if personalized options are right for you.

🌸 Progesterone & Women’s Health 🌸

Did you know progesterone does much more than support reproduction? This important hormone also plays a crucial role in regulating sleep, mood, cognition, and bone health.

As women enter perimenopause and menopause, progesterone levels decline, often contributing to symptoms like:
- Sleep disturbances
- Mood changes & anxiety
- Hot flashes & night sweats
- Irregular bleeding
- Breast tenderness or bloating
- Brain fog

Compounded progesterone can be tailored in the right form and dose to support balance and comfort. Options may include oral capsules, creams or gels, vaginal formulations, or even combination therapies.

Our compounding pharmacists work closely with you and your healthcare provider to create personalized solutions tailored to your needs, helping to restore balance and enhance your day-to-day quality of life. 💙

Always talk with your healthcare provider before starting or adjusting hormone therapy.

🐾 Gabapentin for Pets: Custom Capsules or Liquids 🐾

Just like people, pets can struggle with chronic pain, nerve disorders, or anxiety. Gabapentin is often prescribed to help, but not every pet does well with standard medications.

That’s where compounding comes in! We can prepare gabapentin in:
🐔 Chicken- or tuna-flavored liquids for picky eaters
💊 Small-dose capsules for easier dosing

With custom flavors and strengths, your pet’s medication becomes less of a struggle and more of a treat. Our pharmacists work with your veterinarian to make sure your furry friend gets the care they need, in a form they’ll actually take.

🗣 Thinking About Compounded Medications? Start the Conversation with Your Doctor!

Are you experiencing medication side effects, have sensitivities, or need a dosage or form that isn’t commercially available? Compounded medications may offer a better solution, but require collaboration between your prescriber and a licensed compounding pharmacist.

Here’s how to bring it up effectively:
1. Do Your Homework Ahead of Time
- Learn if compounding might suit your situation, like adjusting strength, avoiding allergens such as dyes or gluten, or switching dosage forms. Make a list of your goals and questions to discuss with your provider.

2. Share Feedback on Your Current Medication
- Be clear about what’s working and what isn’t. Whether you're noticing side effects or facing absorption issues, explaining these challenges helps your doctor understand why a tailored approach might help.

3. Raise the Topic of Compounding
Ask whether a compounded version, like a custom hormone blend in topical form or a preservative-free formula, could better meet your needs.

4. Keep Advocating for Your Health
Not all providers are familiar with compounding or its benefits. If your provider seems uncertain, ask them to consult with our team.

Ready to explore a more personalized path to better health? Let’s start the dialogue together!

🌿 LDN & Autoimmune Conditions 🌿

Autoimmune diseases affect millions of people worldwide, and each condition comes with its own challenges. From chronic pain and fatigue to inflammation and organ involvement, the daily impact can be overwhelming.

💊 Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) is being explored as an option for individuals with autoimmune conditions such as:
- Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
- Crohn’s Disease
- Lupus

Research suggests that LDN may help by gently modulating the immune system, potentially reducing inflammatory activity and improving quality of life. While it’s not a cure, LDN offers hope for patients who haven’t found relief with standard therapies.

✨ Because LDN isn’t commercially available in low doses, compounding pharmacies play a key role in making it accessible. Our pharmacy works closely with providers to create personalized LDN formulations, including capsules or liquid suspensions.

✅ Always consult your healthcare provider before making changes to your treatment plan. LDN should be considered as part of a collaborative approach to autoimmune care.
