🌿 Personalized Medicine & Mental Health 🌿

Standard prescriptions play a vital role in mental health care, but they don’t always work the same for everyone. Factors like age, metabolism, sensitivities, or multiple health conditions can make treatment challenging.

That’s where compounded medications come in. By working with your healthcare provider, our compounding pharmacy can:
✔️ Adjust dosages for precision
✔️ Create alternative forms (drops, creams, patches, etc.)
✔️ Remove dyes, preservatives, or allergens
✔️ Provide customized options for children, seniors, and those with unique needs
✔️ Recommend quality nutritional supplements that may be helpful.

✨ The result? Treatment that’s better tailored to you, helping support long-term wellness.

✨ Where Does Magnesium Fit with Vitamin D3 + K2? ✨

We recently shared why Vitamin D3 + K2 is such a powerful combo for bone and cardiovascular health—but there’s another important piece of the puzzle: Magnesium.

🧩 Here’s how it all fits together:

Vitamin D3: Helps your body absorb calcium from food.

Vitamin K2: Directs calcium into bones & teeth instead of soft tissues.

Magnesium: Activates Vitamin D into its usable form and supports over 300 biochemical reactions in the body—including bone strength, muscle function, and heart rhythm.

👉 Without enough magnesium, your body can’t fully utilize Vitamin D—even if you’re taking a high dose.

That’s why we often recommend the trio: Vitamin D3 + Vitamin K2 + Magnesium to keep your bones strong, your heart healthy, and your body in balance.

💊 Ask us about our premium D3/K2 blends and magnesium options—we’ll help you find the right fit for your wellness plan.

☀️ Vitamin D3 vs. Vitamin D2 – and Why Add Vitamin K2 ☀️

Not all Vitamin D is created equal:

Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol): FDA-approved as a prescription medication in 50,000 IU strength.

Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol): Widely considered the preferred form. It’s not FDA-approved as a prescription product, but it is available over-the-counter—even at 50,000 IU strength.

👉 But here’s the key: Long-term Vitamin D supplementation should be paired with Vitamin K2.

Why?
Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium. Vitamin K2 ensures calcium goes to the right places—your bones and teeth—instead of the wrong places like blood vessels or kidneys (where it could contribute to calcification or kidney stones).

💊 That’s why D3 + K2 is the ultimate combo for bone, dental, and cardiovascular health.

🌸 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 flavor 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.

⚖️ Important Update on Compounded Porcine (Desiccated) Thyroid Prescriptions ⚖️

We want to keep our patients and providers up to date on an FDA ruling that will affect compounded porcine thyroid products.

📌 Our manufacturers have informed us that porcine thyroid powder will no longer be available in about 12 months. After this time, it will be reclassified as a biologic drug—meaning it cannot be used in compounding.

➡️ Why the change?
Biologic drugs are medicines that originate from living cells (such as bacteria, yeast, or animal cells). In this case, porcine thyroid powder comes directly from a pig’s thyroid gland. This type of FDA reclassification is not new—HCG was moved to the biologic category back in 2019/2020, which impacted compounding in a similar way.

🙏 We know the headlines around this have caused concern, and we want to clarify some important points:

✨ This ruling applies to compounding pharmacies.
Large pharmaceutical companies can still manufacture porcine-based thyroid medications such as Armour Thyroid, Westhroid, and NP Thyroid. However, independent compounding pharmacies like ours will no longer be able to prepare custom porcine thyroid capsules, liquids, or other forms once the change takes effect.

✨ Bio-identical thyroid compounds ARE NOT impacted.
Bio-identical Levothyroxine (T4) and Liothyronine (T3) will continue to be available for compounding. These medications are not derived from animal cells.

💡 What this means for you:

- Porcine thyroid compounds can still be filled for the next ~12 months.
- After that, compounded porcine thyroid products will no longer be an option.
- Bio-identical thyroid options (T4 and T3) will remain available and unaffected.

We will keep you informed as the timeline becomes more defined, and we are here to answer your questions. Your care and continuity of treatment remain our priority.

🗣 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.

💉 NAD+ Questions Answered 💉

Pharmacist Austin here! Recently, we’ve had several questions about NAD+ injectables—so let’s clear a few things up:

❓ Do you offer IV NAD+ infusions?
➡️ We don’t offer IV infusions of any kind here at Fort Wayne Custom Rx. However, if you’re interested, I recommend reaching out to Dorinda Mosbrucker, NP at The Scarlet Drip—they do a fantastic job with NAD+ infusions locally.

❓ What NAD+ compounding options do you have?
➡️ We’re currently in the early stages of developing a NAD+ nasal spray. If you’re interested, call and ask for me—I’ll be happy to add you to my list of patients to contact once it’s ready.
➡️ We’re also investigating the possibility of carrying a NAD+ injectable for subcutaneous (under the skin) use.

📝 Remember: all compounded medications require a prescription from your provider.

Follow-Up Question from Yesterday’s Post:
Do I need to take TMG alongside my NMN supplement❓

💊 Pharmacist Austin here! This is a great question, and I’m glad it came up after our NAD+ discussion.

When your body processes NMN, it uses methyl groups (think of these as small chemical helpers). Over time, frequent NMN use may increase your body’s need for methyl donors. That’s where TMG (Trimethylglycine) comes in—it helps replenish those methyl groups.

👉 Here’s a fun fact: Trimethylglycine gets its name because each glycine molecule has three methyl groups attached. Those methyl groups are exactly what your body can use to support healthy methylation when taking NMN.

👉 Do you have to take TMG with NMN?

Not necessarily. Some people do just fine with NMN alone.

But for long-term use, pairing NMN with TMG may be a smart idea, especially if your diet is low in other methyl donors like folate, B12, or choline.

I often recommend considering TMG as an add-on for patients who plan to be consistent with NMN supplementation.
