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.

PEDIATRICS:

Also in some cases where oral administration is a problem such as vomiting changing the drug dosage form e.g into suppository is the best solution.
• ALTERING TASTE & FLAVORS:
Some medications may have unpleasant taste or flavors making it hard to give to infants & children.At Rakoty Pharmacy we can formulate suspensions to have pleasant taste & flavor.our available flavor range are strawberry,banana,raspberry ,orange, peppermint & butterscotch.

BIO-IDENTICAL HRT:
it is used to treat hormonal disturbances in women though different life stages
• Hormonal imbalances are common these days among a lot of women.It might be occurring due to some food additives, household cleansers, certain commercial dyes or as a side effect of some prescription medications.SYMPTOMS of hormonal imbalances might include: (dysmenorrhea, irregular periods,night sweats,disturbed sleep, weight gain,osteoporosis & poor concentration).
• Adjusting hormonal levels is important in treating infertility & duringIVF process.
• During Menopause : a women would experience declined levels of progesterone & estrogen resulting in unwanted symptoms such as (hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings,UTI ,dry skin,vaginal dryness & loss of sexual desire).This hormonal imbalance increases the risk of developing osteoporosis & heart problems.
• Unfortunately the majority of HRT found in market are SYNTHETIC produced to mimic human hormones but as they have a different chemical structure than body hormones,they cause intolerable & unwanted side effects.
• Bio-identical HRT are naturally occurring ;being of no value for drug companies as they can not patent it ;they are of a great value to you as they have the exact same molecular structure of the hormones produced by the body, therefore they are the safest&most effective hormone replacement therapy.

TOPICAL PAIN MANAGEMENT
Pain can be classified into nociceptive & neuropathic pain.NOCICEPTIVE PAIN :it is frequently caused by tissue damage or injurysuch as bone,muscles,skin or viscera.Instead of having to use oral anti-inflammatory medications & suffer from side effects such as gastrointestinal adverse effects & fluid retention ;topical anti-inflammatory creams or gels might be the solution as a less amount is absorbed into blood which means less systemic side effects & a higher concentration of the actual drug reaches the tissue that needs it.
ANTI- INFLAMMATORY CREAMS are available in various combinations & strengths according to every injury.
NEUROPATHIC PAIN: it is described as stabbing pain with the sensation of numbness,burning & tingling. NSAIDS & Opiates are treatment options but they also cause unwanted side effects & tolerance development.

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:
• LATER STAGES 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.
TREATMENT OPTIONS:
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.
