🎀 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🎀 Did you know 1 woman in the UK is diagnosed with breast cancer every 10 minutes? While there are concerns about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and breast cancer, it's how oestrogen is metabolised that impacts risk. Studies show bioidentical (BHRT) users who are using the bioidentical form of progesterone have lower breast cancer risks than their counterparts using HRT with synthetic progestogens.

Compounded Testosterone: Why do women need it? Testosterone plays a significant role in normal female physiology, and the small amount produced is crucial to the healthy functioning of most bodily tissues. When compounded as part of bioidentical hormone replenishment treatment (BHRT), testosterone is known to strengthen muscles/bone density, improve mood, red blood cell production, and increase energy and libido. Since 2019, The British Menopause Society has recognised the importance of testosterone replacement in women, especially in women with premature menopause or surgical menopause (post hysterectomy), but until recently, women could only get the testosterone gels made for men which are only available in high strengths, so applying an accurate dose is difficult. Now #Androfemme is thankfully a licensed testosterone preparation available for women, but it’s too expensive to be on many NHS formularies. The BMS recently confirmed compounded testosterone medication as another treatment option for symptoms of menopause. This is a positive and valuable step forward for women seeking testosterone treatment. Interested in prescribing compounded testosterone?

This week is Migraine Awareness Week. Around 10 million people aged 15-69 in the UK suffer from migraines, but did you know that pharmacists can distinguish the difference between headaches and migraines, and help formulate a prescription accordingly? Here at Specialist Pharmacy, a combination of ingredients can be made into a single capsule for acute treatment of migraines. These capsules can be taken at the onset of a migraine to quickly bring the attack under control. Two effective ingredients we include in many migraine formulations are indomethacin and caffeine. Indomethacin is an NSAID that provides relief for many types of headaches. Certain headache types like hemicrania continua only respond to treatment with indomethacin, as it acts somewhat differently than other NSAIDs. Caffeine is frequently found in headache medicines for its vasoconstrictive properties. Headaches tend to cause blood vessels to enlarge but caffeine constricts the blood vessels, thereby reducing pain. We can also consider vitamin deficiencies such as riboflavin (vitamin B2) which may be associated with a susceptibility to migraines and has been shown to reduce the frequency of headaches when supplements are taken regularly. For any ingredient included in our migraine capsules, multiple strengths are available to meet the needs of individual patients. Making custom medications that are not commercially available is our speciality. There are many combinations of migraine medication ingredients that are possible in different dosage forms e.g. oral capsules, liquids or sublingual drops, rapid dissolving tablets or suppositories.. We frequently work with doctors who are looking for a specific migraine treatment that will be most effective for their patients. Having a powerful acute migraine treatment available can greatly improve a patient’s quality of life. Interested in prescribing personalised migraine medication?

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?
