MEDICATIONS FOR YOUR FAMILY'S UNIQUE NEEDS.​

​

We are proud to be the ONLY compounding pharmacy in our area to achieve PCAB accreditation! Our pharmacists have been specially trained to prepare customized medications to meet every patient's unique need - even your pet's! It is our aim to support and education our patients and local physicians about how compounded prescriptions can help. Our compounds can be created in a variety of forms for any number of reasons including:

  • To create a different or unique strength

  • To provide a different delivery form (i.e. liquid instead of pill)

  • To avoid an allergic medication reaction

  • To improve taste to ensure compliance.

​

It's your body - why not give yourself the option of a customized, individualized medication alternative. Ask your physician or our pharmacist about compounding for any unique medication needs.

​

We are happy to provide our patients with compounded weight loss solutions. Semaglutide belongs to a class of medications that mimics the GLP-1 hormone that helps to regulate appetite and food intake. When combined with diet and exercise, semaglutide may help with weight loss. Our compounded sublingual semaglutide is administered under the tongue, meaning there are no needles! It is also more readily available than traditional GLP-1s.

Hormone Testing Consultations

Hot Flashes? Insomnia? Tired? Mood Swings?

Are you constantly tired, suffering from hot flashes, loss of libido, or trouble sleeping? Peri-menopause and menopause symptoms do not have to control your life. If you are interested in learning more, make an appointment with our new educational nurse, Cheryl Hade, RN, BSN, to discuss hormone testing and treatment options. Cheryl has over 30 years of experience in health care.

 

Cheryl Hade, RN, BSN

After you complete a symptom checklist and health assessment form, Cheryl will do a comprehensive review of your healthcare and hormone symptoms (30 minutes, $50).

Suppose you decide to undergo a saliva test to check your hormone levels ($200). In that case, Cheryl can meet with you and provide a written pharmacist’s recommendation for bio-identical hormone therapy (30 minutes, $50). You can then take this recommendation to a healthcare practitioner to have them write prescription(s).

Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)

EXPLORING THE USES OF LOW-DOSE NALTREXONE (LDN).​

​

Naltrexone, an opiate receptor antagonist, is not a new drug, but when used off label at very low doses, is a drug shown in many trials to be of therapeutic benefit. The 50mg dose of Naltrexone was approved by the FDA in 1984 to treat opioid and alcohol addiction.

​

In 1985, Bernard Bihari, MD, a physician with a clinical practice in New York City, discovered the effects of a much smaller dose of Naltrexone. When reduced to doses ranging from 0.5mg to 9.0mg daily, it can modulate the immune system and may provide relief to those suffering from autoimmune diseases, chronic pain, mental health challenges, and inflammation.

​

Over the past ten years, there has been a growing body of evidence that the body's endorphins (naturally occurring opioids) have a crucial role in regulating the immune system and providing pain relief. LDN's blockade of opioid receptors has been shown to upregulate endorphin production. LDN's blockade of Toll Like Receptors is believed to contribute to the anti-inflammatory and immune dampening effects.

​

These mechanisms help us understand why LDN can be beneficial for so many patients. LDN continues to provide life changing outcomes for many patients. It is available only by prescription and custom made at a compounding pharmacy.

​

The key to success in using LDN is an understanding that optimal dosing is ultimately patient specific and is not dependent on a set protocol. Dosing strategies can vary tremendously. Some patients find success very quickly, while others need to try a variety of dosing strategies, which may take up to several months to achieve success. Therefore, it is critical to work with a provider or a compounding pharmacy knowledgeable tin strategies that can help ensure success with LDN.

​

Since we began specializing in LDN at Norland Avenue Pharmacy, we have seen a wide variety of successes. it is these successes that motivate us to continue to try to help other patients.

​

NOTE: Because LDN is an opioid receptor blocker, caution should be taken when prescribing LDN to patients who are taking opioid-type pain medications such as Morphine, Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, and Fentanyl.

Patient Testimonials

"Before I felt bad all the time. I was sick a lot, and I didn't want to get out of bed. Now, I might have an occasional flare-up, but it's mostly under control."
"I've done a complete 180. I recouped all my functions. It helps my sleep. My constitution is much stronger, and my immune system is much stronger."
"LDN is amazing! Before I started taking LDN, my TSH level was 4.5. After three months on LDN, my TSH level was 0.8."
"LDN's helped with sleep and definitely helped with flare-ups. I'm afraid to go off of it!"
"I've noticed a pretty significant difference. My thyroid function has improved. My joint pain has improved, I definitely would recommend LDN to others."
"I was taking nine gabapentin pills a day for nerve pain in my feet. I stopped taking gabapentin four months ago. I would recommend LDN, and I wouldn't go off of it."
"I experienced a reduction in muscle pain and in stiffness in my fingers and toes."
"I used to have burning pain in my hips. I took a lot of pain and nerve medications. LDN has provided relief. I'm doing a lot better, and I don't take any other meds now."
"After starting LDN, I definitely have better sleep and less pain. I used to get up through the night in pain. Now I don't!"
"I noticed a huge difference after starting LDN. I was taking 500mg of gabapentin a day. now I'm completely off of it."
"I had been taking a double dose of Remicade for a year, 80mg of prednisone a day, and Wellbutrin. I was able to wean off all of them, am no longer anemic, and my depression, anxiety, and insomnia all resolved. I've been in remission for six years."
"They are SO SO HELPFUL as well.  They have called and checked in on me with the new prescription, I was able to talk to the Pharmacist there too, and the one gal working there is also taking LDN, so it is MOST HELPFUL to have additional help and support practically in my backyard.  I'm telling you-  GOD is with us FOR SURE!"
