💊 What is sublingual medication?

Placing medication under the tongue allows it to absorb quickly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system for potentially faster results, higher potency, and fewer food or drug interactions.

Sublingual medications are a great option for those who:
✔️ Struggle with swallowing pills
✔️ Need fast-acting relief
✔️ Want to avoid GI side effects

Compounded sublingual forms can include tablets, films, sprays, or drops, and are tailored to your unique needs. Whether it’s for pain, hormone therapy, weight loss, or wellness, our pharmacist can work with your provider to create a custom solution that fits you.

Ask us if a sublingual option is right for your care.

🐾 When your cat starts having trouble in the litter box, it might be more than just a behavioral issue.

Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD) is a common but serious condition that can cause pain, blood in the urine, frequent or strained urination, and—in severe cases—a complete blockage that becomes life-threatening. Recognizing these signs early can make all the difference.

There are many potential causes of FLUTD, including stress, poor hydration, obesity, diet-related crystal formation, and even genetics. Because every case is different, treatment depends on the root cause. Options may include pain relief, dietary changes, muscle relaxants, or, in some cases, surgery. Antibiotics are used only when a bacterial infection is confirmed.

The good news? With veterinary guidance and the right combination of care, most cats can recover and stay comfortable.

If your feline friend is showing any signs of urinary trouble, don’t wait. Reach out to your veterinarian and ask if compounded medications or custom treatment plans could help.

🌿 Taking supplements? Let’s talk safety. 💊

Just because it’s “natural” doesn’t mean it’s risk-free. Some supplements—like herbs, vitamins, or over-the-counter products—can interact with your medications in ways you might not expect.

Potential risks include:
⚠️ Reduced medication effectiveness
⚠️ Increased side effects or toxicity
⚠️ Unexpected reactions—even with common meds

At our compounding pharmacy, we offer personalized supplement and medication reviews to help keep your health plan safe and effective. Our pharmacists work closely with you and your provider, and we only carry pharmaceutical-grade supplements you can trust.

🦶 Struggling with stubborn foot or nail fungus? We’ve got a custom solution.

Menopause and your skin? Estrogen may play a bigger role than you think.

As estrogen levels drop during menopause, many women experience dry, thinning skin and reduced elasticity. One innovative option? Estrogen facial creams can be custom-compounded to help support skin health from the outside in.

Topical estrogens have been shown to help boost skin hydration, improve elasticity, support collagen production, and help minimize fine lines and dryness.

Talk to your provider or our pharmacist to learn more about how compounded estrogen creams may help support healthier, more vibrant skin during and after menopause.

💊 Chronic autoimmune pain is personal—and so should your treatment be.

For conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or MS, traditional medications can help manage inflammation, but not everyone tolerates them well. That’s where Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) may offer a gentler, non-opioid option.

LDN has been explored for its ability to help regulate the immune system and reduce inflammation, making it a potential option during flare-ups or for long-term symptom support.

Why consider compounded LDN?
✔️ Personalized dosing
✔️ Fewer side effects than traditional meds
✔️ Custom forms not commercially available

Our pharmacists work with your provider to find solutions that fit you.

😴 Struggling with sleep? You’re not alone.

Sleep is crucial for maintaining both your physical and mental health. While you rest, your body repairs tissue, balances hormones, strengthens immunity, and resets your brain for the day ahead.

Poor sleep can lead to:
⚠️ Weight gain & high blood pressure
⚠️ Low immunity & brain fog
⚠️ Increased stress, anxiety, or depression

Want better rest? Try a consistent sleep schedule, limiting screens before bed, and supplement support like magnesium, melatonin, or calming herbs

Small changes = better nights (and better days). Talk to our pharmacist about natural ways to improve your sleep.

🧠 Is your B12 level really “normal”? New research says… maybe not.

A recent study found that even B12 levels within the “normal” range may still be too low to fully support brain and nerve health, especially in older adults. Low B12 has been linked to:
Brain fog
Fatigue
Numbness or tingling
Mood changes

And too much of the wrong form of B12? That’s not ideal either—it may be tied to nerve stress and memory issues. If you're vegetarian, vegan, take certain meds, or have digestive issues, you could be at risk for deficiency.

Our pharmacist can help you explore high-quality supplements and personalized support.
