Low-dose naltrexone (LDN)
At very low doses, naltrexone is used off-label by some providers. Because these strengths aren't commercially available, they are compounded.
Mental Health Support, Prescribed With Care
Mental health treatment is highly individual. Compounding helps providers prescribe precise doses and alternative forms when standard products don't fit a patient's needs.
Understanding Your Options
What to Know About Mental Health
Clinician-supervised therapies
Some mental health treatments, including ketamine-based therapies, are controlled substances. They are prescribed and monitored by licensed clinicians under strict protocols.
Alternative dosage forms
Liquids, troches or capsules without certain fillers can help patients who have trouble swallowing or have sensitivities.
Whole-person care
Medication works best alongside therapy, sleep, nutrition and regular follow-up with your care team.
Why Compounding
Medication Made for One Patient: You
Custom strengths
Doses that commercial products don't offer, so your provider can start low and adjust in small steps.
Dosage forms
Capsules, creams, troches, injectables and more, so the medication fits how you live and what your body tolerates.
Fewer additives
Formulas prepared without dyes, gluten, lactose or other fillers when you have a sensitivity or allergy.
Combinations
When appropriate, compatible ingredients prepared together to simplify your routine.
