Did you know August is National Hair Loss Month? Hair loss is very common in men and women and although it can be down to genetics, stress and lifestyle changes, it is also a widespread side effect of the natural ageing process. There are many treatments which may promote hair growth, including changing your diet to include extra protein, supplements, scalp massages, light therapy and caffeine-infused hair products. The effectiveness of each option can vary from person to person and may depend on the cause of the hair loss. At Specialist Pharmacy, we compound key, proven ingredients such as Finasteride and Minoxidil to treat thinning hair and promote healthy hair follicles. Other selected ingredients, such as bioidentical hormones, can be added to create a compounded medicine which is tailored to the individual patient’s needs. We can compound hair loss treatments in stable non-alcohol bases that give excellent results and do not come with the drying associated with alcohol-based formulations. Patients of compounded hair loss medication report that hair follicles are significantly improved thanks to the bespoke compounded dosage. Looking to prescribe hair loss medicine?

August is Psoriasis Awareness Month. By increasing awareness around psoriasis, we can dispel the myths and better support those living with the condition. The NHS describes psoriasis as a skin condition that causes flaky patches of skin which form scales. Patches normally appear on elbows, knees, the scalp and lower back but can appear anywhere on the body. People with psoriasis have an increased production of skin cells, so whereas normal skin cells are made and replaced every 3 to 4 weeks, those suffering with psoriasis see the process sped up and this occurs every 3 to 7 days. Psoriasis affects around 2 in 100 people in the UK and is a chronic condition that involves periods when a person has mild symptoms, followed by periods when symptoms are more severe. There are several types of psoriasis, which vary in signs and symptoms, however, the condition is not contagious. Common causes of flare-ups in psoriasis include infections, the weather, injury to the skin, smoking and alcohol consumption, along with certain prescribed medications. At Specialist Pharmacy, we can compound effective and bespoke topical treatment options using ingredients such as corticosteroids, retinoids, vitamin D analogues, calcineurin, coal tar and salicylic acid.   Applied directly to the skin, these treatments can reduce mild to moderate symptoms effectively. The formulations are available in a variety of dosage forms such as creams, gels, hair solutions and hair foams. Interested in prescribing psoriasis treatment?

Today is World Brain Day! 🧠 The brain is the most amazing and complex organ in the human body. We all know that exercise, healthy eating, reading and problem solving promotes brain health. But did you know that oestrogen is crucial for a healthy brain too?

Did you know Specialist Pharmacy can compound dermatology medication as unique as the human complexion? In recent times, significant progress has been made in the development of dermatological treatments. Compounded dermatology medication is increasingly in demand, as patients understand that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to epidermis-related issues. We are excited to introduce our new skin re-balancing cream base, Cleoderm™. Cleoderm™ is a topical cream designed to be used as a vehicle for the compounding of personalised dermatological treatments. Its ingredient profile is specifically formulated to be gentle on the skin, making it ideal for use on the face. Cleoderm™ has several beneficial properties, including the ability to decrease sebum production, reduce lipid peroxidation and reactive oxygen species, inhibit the proliferation of Cutibacterium acnes, and control inflammation. These attributes make Cleoderm™ an excellent choice for managing inflammatory skin conditions or any conditions where inflammation can exacerbate the severity.
