Maintaining healthy levels of adrenal hormones and keeping the body’s immune system in working order are two important components of good health—and sometimes medication may be necessary to achieve this. At APS Pharmacy, we offer a variety of compounded medications to give your patients the adrenal and immune support they need.

There are a variety of reasons our bodies might not produce enough adrenal hormones, including problems with the adrenal glands themselves or a malfunction of the pituitary gland or hypothalamus. If your patient suffers from common symptoms of adrenal insufficiency, including long-lasting fatigue, muscle weakness, loss of appetite, weight loss, and abdominal pain, and testing reveals that their body isn’t producing enough adrenal hormones, medical adrenal support might be the answer.

We all know that the stronger our immune systems, the better our bodies can fight off intruders like viruses and bacteria. However, a range of factors can weaken your patients’ immune systems—from autoimmune disorders to issues such as smoking, poor nutrition, and aging. Immune support medications can be used to strengthen your patients’ immune systems and keep them healthy by giving them a better chance at fighting off infections.

With your understanding of your patients and their various needs, you can recommend a medical adrenal or immune support program that’s best suited for each individual patient. And of course, our pharmacist team is always happy to answer any questions you or your patient might have.

At APS Pharmacy, our pharmacists are experts at compounding Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) into patient-specific compounds that may be used to help with adrenal and immune support. Among some of the APIs we compound with are: naltrexone, chromium picolinate, cyanocobalamin, and more. Our APIs can be compounded into dosage forms such as capsules and creams.
