Test Your Hormones
A simple test…one individualized solution.
One non-invasive test – a simple saliva sample – speaks volumes about your body. And it provides the road map for compounded hormone gels and creams, sublingual tablets or oral capsules containing the exact formula your body needs. Rather than simply treating your symptoms, a specially formulated compound of bioidentical hormones replenishes your missing hormones. No “cookie cutter” dose. No synthetic hormones. Just your own unique prescription to get your hormones – and your life – back on track.
The saliva test is free and you can come pick it up from us here at Pitt Street Pharmacy. Give me a call or email me to set up a time to talk about your unique situation and let’s get you back on track!
Hormone Therapy for Women
Menopause and Perimenopause are the words we hear associated with women’s hormones. The truth is women’s hormone levels can become imbalanced at any age! We have patients from the 20’s to the 80’s. Hormone balance is not just about the pauses, it is about total health, looking and feeling good no matter what your age. Here are a few things that could be signs that hormone therapy could be beneficial:
• Feel like you are going crazy
• Waking up between 2-4am
• Eating right, exercising, but still can’t lose weight
• ZERO sex drive
• Too tired to care.

Hormone Therapy for Men
Men need hormones, too!
In men, testosterone levels begin to decrease at age 30 by around one percent a year. By age 70, a man can have up to 50 percent less testosterone. Some signs that you, or the man in your life. could benefit from hormone therapy include:
• Crashing in the afternoon
• Can’t focus or concentrate
• Muscle or strength declining
• Increased belly fat
• Sex drive not what it used to be

Pets
Personalized Medicine for Your Pet.
Pets are very special to us. They are family.
Just like their owners, pets are unique! Just like our human patients, our pets can benefit from compounded medications, too. We can make the Right medication in the Right dosage, Right flavor and Right way for your pet!
When it comes to diseases like skin rashes, eye and ear infections, heart conditions, cancer, thyroid disorders, anxiety, diabetes, or pain management, animals and humans have a lot in common, but giving pets medication presents a unique set of challenges – challenges that can often be addressed through compounding.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can't get your pet to swallow a pill?
Cats are notorious for refusing to swallow pills and they’ll usually eat right around one disguised in food. Just like humans, many of our medications can be made in a cream or gel. For example, you can be rubbing medication on your cat’s ear rather than forcing it down their throat!
Is your pet large or small?
Dosages can be tricked with dogs – a dose of medication that is therapeutic for an 80-pound Labrador Retriever could be deadly for a six-pound Yorkie. Large and exotic pets, such as horses, rabbits, birds, ferrets, and reptiles all pose a wide variety of different medication challenges. But the solution is often the same: veterinary compounding.
Does your pet have flavors they really like?
Compounding is ideal for pets that won’t take medication because of the taste. Cats don’t like pills, but they do like tuna. Dogs aren’t usually wild about medication being squirted into their mouth, but they’ll take it gladly when it’s meat-flavored. Birds can’t take large volumes of liquid medication, but they’ll open wide for a small dose of a tasty, fruit-flavored, concentrated solution.
We have a wide variety of flavors: Chicken, Beef, Bacon, Fish and Triple Fish (sardines, tuna and salmon). Some of our pets like the combination flavors like Beef & Bacon or fruity flavors from Apple to Watermelon!
Can't get the medication that was working great?
Sometimes a manufacturer may discontinue a veterinary medication. It’s often because there’s not enough demand to make mass production cost effective, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t still some pets that need it. When a medication that has worked well for your pet isn’t commercially available, a compounding pharmacist can prepare a prescription – and tailor the strength, dosage form, and flavor to meet specific needs.
