RAKOTY PHARMACY COMPOUNDING LABORATORY

Compounding is the art & science of preparing personalized medications through mixing of individual ingredients together in the exact strength & dosage form required by the patient.

At Rakoty Pharmacy, we work with various health care practitioners to provide you with what commercial drug manufacturers either can not or will not provide any longer. It is actually the role that pharmacies served years ago before mass drug manufacturing was introduced in the 50 s & 60s. The fact that we are not exactly the same makes it difficult for manufactured products to meet all needs. Compounding can provide you with a medication that has a specific strength,size & dosage form customized specially to meet your specific needs.

ADRENAL FATIGUE & THYROID PROBLEMS

Adrenal fatigue is mainly caused due to STRESS either mental, emotional or physical stress.Infections such as (pneumonia, bronchitis, flu), food intolerance or food allergies,malnutrition, toxic chemical or pollutant exposure etc. are considered physical stresses that might be causing adrenal fatigue.

On top of each kidney there is an adrenal gland ,about the size of large grape.They produce hormones that control blood pressure,heart beat,blood glucose levels,sodium & potassium balance in body, metabolism,anti- inflamatory responses & they aid in responding to stressful situations. 

During periods of stress, Cortisol ;a hormone secreted by the adrenal glands is produced in order to maintain steady supplies of blood sugar.Adequate & steady blood sugar levels helps you to cope with stress & to return your body to normal.

• EARLY STAGE OF ADRENAL FATIGUE:

IF you are subjected to constant chronic stress your adrenal glands become exhausted causing a decrease in cortisol & DHEA production .Thyroid gland responds to under active adrenals by over production of thyroid hormone. After some time your thyroid gland becomes exhausted causing hypothyroidism & that's when you start feeling tired and exhausted.You will also experience hypoglycemia due to low cortisol levels .DHEA is an adrenal hormone converted in your body into important sex hormones such as testosterone & estrogen. A decline in DHEA blood levels due to adrenal fatigue will be followed by a cascade of decline in blood levels of sex hormones.

During the early stage of adrenal fatigue we offer:

Cortisol lowering capsules;a unique formula used to lower high blood cortisol levels..

During later stages of adrenal fatigue we offer:

Adrenal support formula which is a combination of vitamins & minerals needed to boost adrenal hormones production.

DHEA in the form of capsule,cream,or troche.
