Types of Compounding Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Compounding A hormonal imbalance can be responsible for several related problems such as irregular menstrual cycle, fibrocystic breasts, infertility, and decreased libido. Commercially available medications are a "one size fits all", which do not account for everyone's specific needs. Bio-identical hormones have the exact chemical structure as the hormones in the human body. The body recognizes them and allows them to mimic the function of the hormones the body produces on its own. Veterinary Compounding Your pets are special. Their medications should be, too. A compounding pharmacist can work closely with your vet to prepare medicines in easy-to-give treat, liquid or other flavored dosage forms with the exact ingredients that pets of all kinds will happily devour. Dermatology Compounding Using an ideal base combined with certain active ingredients may create the perfect combination for your patient clinically and affordability. The Clarifying™ Base we have, for instance, can be used in formulations for patients with acne and rosacea. It may improve the appearance of red, blotchy skin. Our XemaTop™ base was formulated for psoriasis, eczema and xerosis (dry skin) in mind and is the only base specifically designed for patients with these conditions. XemaTop replenishes the lipids within the skin, nourishes its structural integrity and helps restore its barrier and prevent water loss while delivering medicine. PracaSil™-Plust this unique topical anhydrous silicone base is an ideal choice in formulations for patients with new scars, old scars, surgical scars, stretch marks, acne scars, hypertrophic scars, burns, and diabetic wounds Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN) Compounding Naltrexone was approved by the FDA in 1984. At low dosage level, Naltrexone exhibits properties such as analgesia and anti-inflammatory actions to have positive benefits towards different chronic conditions. Low-Dose Naltrexone has helped aid with conditions such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lupus, inflammatory bowel disease, fibromyalgia, and restless leg syndrome.
