Finding Compounding Pharmacies

[Guest guest]

A lot of women have specific natural ingredients compounded for

hormones. The compounding pharmacies have doctors come in and have

these talks sometimes and send out flyers geared towards that females

who are post-menopausal. I have two pharmacies nearby that do this.

They offer to run tests on you, tell you what you exactly what you

need, then send you to a compounding pharmacy where they put it all

together in one pill.

If you find a doctor advertising he can give you natural hormones,

you could call their office and ask for the name of a good

compounding pharmacy. I'm sure there's several ways to find them.

I went to the pharmacy (big sign inside saying they could add a-z

flavor to any liquid medicine) and asked about Pentasa. His idea was

to use gelatin caps with only the active ingredient. I did need a

script from the doctor just saying 'mesalamine', how often and it's

ok to compound. It was a lot cheaper than buying Pentasa also. I'd

always heard it was a lot more expensive.

Just an idea. I've seen a couple of posts asking how to find the

compounding pharmacies. My mom actually told me about one of them

because she went to a speech one night on that topic.
