3 New Products | Excellent Reported Outcomes

Compounding Provides Results!

As someone may or may not be familiar with compounding, we wanted to pass along some excellent patient experiences with newer products lately. Compounding is the process of custom preparing medications for patients to deliver alternatives where commercially available products may fall short.

We have had a compounding lab for decades, including our senior compounding technician who has been with the company for 30 years!

We routinely do bioidentical hormone replacement, pet meds, and other custom preparations to deliver your med at your dose via the best route for you.

The products highlighted below are just a few newer ones in which we have heard great feedback from patients. Please let us know if we can provide any further info!

Prostate Health - Reducing Nighttime Urination

Current data implies if you are a man and live long enough, prostate pathologies will be something you experience. These span from enlarged prostate (BPH) to full blown prostate cancer.

Symptoms often begin with increasing night time urinations. Three, four, five times a night is not uncommonly reported .

With this new product, clioquinol (a zinc ionophore), we have seen nighttime urinations drop from these high levels to 1 or zero IN DAYS. Here are a few quotes from people who emailed feedback:

Patient #1. "As for me that cream seems to be showing good results. I am down to a normal one urination per nite and my PSA was stable "
Patient #2. "All is well but it is time to renew my prescription for clioquinol rx# "
Patient #3. "PS: That Clioquinol is amazing! First day, woke up once only and last night, nada. Thank you so much for the info and the script."

Not only are the nighttime interruptions inconvenient but the sleep disruptions precipitated are harmful over time as well.

We have a detailed whitepaper on prostate health that includes the scientific backing on clioquinol and a host of other measures to improve prostate health. Please click here to download from our health coaching site Prescriptive Optimization .

Topical Metformin

Nausea is the number one complaint of those taking metformin - the common oral medication for Type 2 Diabetes.

Metformin is the most widely prescribed drug for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and the first-line pharmacological option as supported by multiple international guidelines, yet a rather large proportion of patients cannot tolerate metformin in adequate amounts because of its associated gastrointestinal (GI) adverse events (AEs). GI AEs typically encountered with metformin therapy include diarrhoea, nausea, flatulence, indigestion, vomiting and abdominal discomfort, with diarrhoea and nausea being the most common. Although starting at a low dose and titrating slowly may help prevent some GI AEs associated with metformin, some patients are unable to tolerate metformin at all and it may also be difficult to convince patients to start metformin again after a bout of GI AEs ^[3]

In our compounding lab, we can take metformin and mix it in a base that drives absorption through the skin. This bypasses the GI tract. Another bonus, is that the dose conversion calculation is typically at 10% of the oral dose! If you are using 500mg of metformin orally twice daily, we can start with 50mg topically.

This does require a prescription, and our pharmacists will happily communicate with your doctor on the specifics if you are interested in giving this a shot.

This is an excerpt from a whitepaper on Avoiding Insulin In Type 2 diabetes . There is much more to the story than blood sugar, insulin has dangerous consequences if it is elevated chronically. Please click here to download from our health coaching site Prescriptive Optimization.
