Suppositories

We usually prepare suppositories in a heat sealed pull apart shell. These are especially convenient for products such as indomethacin and progesterone. Patients and caregivers find these easy to use and damage to the suppository during removal is rare. Good for rectal or vaginal applications.
 

Capsules

We also prepare slow release dry powder capsules. A few examples include triiodothyronine, DHEA, Pregnenolone, melatonin, and hydrocortisone.
 

Sublingual lozenges (troches)

Our favorite lozenge is a tiny half moon shaped creation that is comfortable under the tongue (almost unnoticeable due to shape and size). This can be used for testosterone, estrogens, selegiline/ergotamine, melatonin and other items that do not require large amounts of dry chemical. We have successfully made progesterone and other products up to 50 mg in this form but would not suggest more powder than that for these small lozenges. We also make medium to large lozenges when required. To learn more more about lozenges, click one or both of these links: general lozenge information or technical lozenge information.

Sublingual drops

We prepare many natural hormones in a sublingual liquid. We provide handy oral syringes for accurate dosing and use sweeteners such as stevia, xylitol and glycerin to sweeten without risk to the teeth. This is usually the least expensive way to dose natural hormones because it is least time consuming process for us to make and because the required amount of medication is usually 1/2 to 1/4 the amount required for oral dosing.

NOTE: There is one problem regarding sublingual drops or lozenges. Saliva testing for hormones levels can not be accurately done with this type of dosing.

Lollipops

We can make sucrose-free lollipops using a sorbitol base that can include chemicals such as nicotine for smoking cessation, oral anesthetics for mouth or throat pain, and several different formulations for controlling nausea.
 

We prepare nasal and throat spays using convenient pump dispensers that deliver a consistent dose. We prepare such things as xylitol/beclomethasone, a snore stopper with uvula sprayer and others.

Ophthalmic drops

Prepared in a clean room and put into sterile dropper bottles of various sizes.

Vials containing sterile injections

We use a clean room with a laminar flow hood to prepare products such as tri-mix (phentolamine/ papaverine/ prostaglandin E-1) for penile injection (erection aid).
