- Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN) Services: Family Pharmacy
LDN LDN Research Trust Fact Sheets LDN Prescriber Guide LDN Patient Guide LDN Dosing Guide 1 The History of LDN As early as 1985, Bernard Bihari, MD, a New York physician, found that smaller doses of LDN (~3mg) influenced the immune system. He prescribed LDN at bedtime for HIV patients to enhance their immune response to HIV infection. He found that LDN alone slowed disease progression. Additionally, as an add-on therapy to antiretroviral treatment, LDN accelerated immune system healing. Since that time, Dr. Bihari also used LDN to treat cancer and autoimmune diseases with beneficial results. Other practitioners followed with treatment of Crohn's disease, irritable bowel syndrome, MS, systemic lupus, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis and other syndromes. 2 Conditions Where LDN May Benefit Cardiac Diseases, Chronic Pain, Dermatologic Diseases, Ear/Nose/Throat Conditions, Endocrine Diseases, Gastrointestinal Diseases, Immunology, Infectious Diseases, Cancer, Neurological Diseases, Renal & Urologic Diseases, Rheumatology Disorders, Sleep Disorders, Vasculitis, Women's Health, Psychological Disorders and more. 3 LDN Dosing Typical adult therapeutic dosing ranges between 1.5mg to 4.5mg taken at bedtime. LDN must be prepared accurately at lower doses as an immediate release dosage form. Slow-release or timed-released formulations will not achieve the required “spike” in the bloodstream that is essential for LDN to have therapeutic results. Choice of filler is imperative as it should be hypoallergenic to avoid patient intolerances or interference with LDN absorption, as seen with calcium carbonate. Family Pharmacy is able to provide LDN therapy for our patients, in capsules, liquid form, or in creams. We work with your provider to compound various strengths as required by patient tolerability and patient response. 4 LDN - Real vs. Counterfeit LDN is prescription only. It has come to our attention that there are websites advertising LDN directly without a prescription. However, those are likely fake medications. Avoid purchasing online to prevent fraud or potential safety risks from fake medication.

- Compounded Perscription Services: Family Pharmacy
Aiken's Compounding Pharmacy Medications are not one size fits all. We offer individualized compounded prescriptions that are customized just for you and your unique situation. No two patients are the same and no two people react the same to each medication . We work in a true triad with you, your provider, and our compounding team to create solutions just for you. What is Compounding & What Options Do I Have? When there is a problem. You need a solution. Mass-produced medications are not always the answer. Many times, patient-specific compounding may be just what the doctor ordered. Customized prescription formulas are created just for you in our USP-795 and USP-800 compliant labs. Patient Contact Prescriber Information Some benefits of patient-specific compounding include: Compounded medications can be formulated into alternative delivery forms, such as topical gels, creams, or nasal sprays, giving the health care professional and the patient a wider range of delivery options. Patient allergies and sensitivities that occur with commercially available drugs can be overcome with compounded prescriptions that are preservative, dye, and lactose-free for example. Discontinued and commercially unavailable medications can be custom-made so that you do not have to go without. Compounded customized hormone therapies are a viable alternative for patients who would prefer to avoid conventional hormone replacement medications. Custom-compounded medications are vital to a successful veterinary practice where hard-to-find medications or uniquely formulated compounds are needed to ensure easier delivery and patient’s compliance with drug regimens. Compounded pain medications can often prevent some of the side effects associated with standard pain medications. Compounded medications are ideally suited to sports medicine and physical therapy scenarios where musculoskeletal pain due to inflammation is a problem, but injections are difficult. Compounded prescriptions are a unique way to deliver medications to patients who are otherwise resistant to traditional forms of medications, such as a lollipop for oral sedation for children.

- Aiken Pharmacy Clinical Partnerships: Family Pharmacy
Clinical Partnerships Part of what makes us unique is our commitment to our patients, our community, and our relationships. Chronic Care Management Chronic Care Management (CCM) is a critical component of primary care that contributes to better health and care for individuals. CCM is care coordination services done outside of a regular office visit for patients with two or more chronic conditions expected to last at least 12 months or until the death of the patient, and that place the patient at significant risk of death, acute exacerbation/decompensation, or functional decline. Our clinically trained pharmacists partner with local primary care providers to make sure our patients receive the best overall that we can provide. Transitions of Care Our pharmacists specialize in care transitions, or the movement of a patient from one setting of care to another. We coordinate with physicians, nurses, and others as part of your entire health care team to monitor your continuing health, provide bedside delivery of medications at discharge, and to set the overall goal of quality of life for transitional patients.
- Bio-Identical Hormone Restoration Therapy: Family Pharmacy
Bio-Identical Hormone Restoration Therapy (BHRT) Bio-Identical Hormone Restoration Therapy or as we like to call it, "Hormone Restoration," is just what it sounds like. These hormones are identical in structure and function as hormones produced by your body. 1 What makes BHRT different from Commercially Mass-Produced Hormones? Commercially produced hormones do not work for everyone, which is where our dedicated team steps in. Commercially produced hormones may contain fillers, items you are allergic to, may produce unwanted side effects, may be structured to emulate animal hormones instead of humans, and are not specific to you. However, BHRT uses hormones identical in structure and form to what you naturally produce. There is no one-size fits all product and each patient's BHRT prescriptions are customized just to you. Yep, it's your specific formulation for your specific need. 2 Hormone Restoration Therapy Goals Include The ultimate goal is to help you feel better. Age and other factors bring a natural decline in body-producing hormones and create symptoms that are usually unpleasant. We want to alleviate those symptoms by restoring those levels to where they need to be by creating a balance that is similar to what your body should hav 3 BHRT Is Not Only For Women Often overlooked, as men age their bodies produce less hormones such as testosterone and others, which may cause symptoms similar to many symptoms women may have. Our team will work with you and your provider to get you back on track and feeling great! 4 BHRT is Personalized Just For You Our dedicated team works closely with you and your provider in a true triad to create the most effective solution for you. We will assist in evaluating hormone tests, will work with your provider to recommend and discuss potential formulations, and will create a plan of treatment just for you and your needs. We continue to work alongside you and monitor your symptoms so tweaks can be made as your needs change. Once we have your prescription from your provider, we work with you and that provider to determine the best strengths and dosage forms which may include: Topical & Vaginal Creams Capsules & Troches Gels & Foams Suppositories Laboratory Testing Partners
