Compounding Options for Oral Mucositis: Oral Mucositis: Oral Mucositis (OM) is the painful inflammation and ulceration of the mucous membranes lining the digestive tract anywhere from mouth to rectum. OM manifests as erythema, inflammation, ulceration and hemorrhage in the mouth and throat. The leading causes of OM are the anticancer chemotherapy and radiation, bacterial viral or fungal infections, systemic disorders (celiac disease, vitamin-B deficiency, IBS, iron deficiency..., leukemia) Common Treatments and NEWER possibilities: Common compounded preparations include anesthetics (lidocaine)+ Antihistamines (dihenhydramine/Chlorpheniramine) + Antacid suspension (Mylanta)+Glucocorticoid (dexamethasone, hydrocortisone)+Antifungals (Nystatin,Ketoconazole)+ Antibiotics (tetracycline). They are compounded using commercial suspension as the primary vehicle, ALCOHOL CONTAINING that can BURN, or SYRUPS containing SUGAR, which we now know to be CONTRAINDICATED for NYSTATIN USE. However newer mucoadhesive technology used at San Jose Compounding Pharmacy using professional compounding center’s (PCCA’s) patented MUCOLOX improves retention, in a study it adhered to mucosa 24 times longer than a reference product 2. Some of the newer formulations also include ingredients to help heal oral epithelial cells such as beta glycan & glutamine. SUPER SATURATED CALCIUM PHOSPHATE solution may be efficacious at reducing the grade and/or duration as well as pain associated with OM. This treatment must be started the very first day of chemo or radiation as a preventative. Cost: Typical cost of these formulations ranges from $50 to $75. We can also bill patients insurance to check on coverage. Examples: Stanford Modified Mouthwash (Mucolox) Betaglycan 0.5%/Dexpanthenol 1%/ Vitamin E Acetate 2% Oral Rinse (MucoLox) Lidocaine 1%/Beta Glycan 0.5%/Dexpanthenol 1%/ Vitamin E2%/Glutamine2% Popsicle (Mucolox) Supersaturated Calcium Phosphate Oral Rinse (MucoLox) To learn more please call our friendly staff at San Jose Compounding Pharmacy: 408 296 5015.

Hormone Replacement Therapy - Women - Introduction: Many women have difficulties coping with chronic conditions stemming from menopause. These conditions can often be complicated to manage. Symptoms arise from deficiency or dominance of estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone. Hormone replacement therapy involves three main forms of circulating estrogen: estrone (E1), estradiol (E2), estriol (E3). Other important hormones include progesterone (P4), dehydroepiandrosterone (DH...EA), and testosterone (T). Treatment Options Studies have shown that combinations of E1, E2, E3, P4, and DHEA have been effective in treating various vasomotor symptoms that may be associated with menopausal hormone imbalance. Formulations include topical and vaginal creams, oral capsules and orally disintegrating tablets. Various ratios of these hormones exist in the female body, and in order to mimic these ratios, formulations often have to be compounded to contain some proportion of the three estrogens. Triestrogen or TriEst is a common name given to formulations containing E1, E2, and E3 while biestrogen or BiEst is a common name given to formulations containing E2 and E3. BiEst generally contains 80% estriol and 20% estradiol, while TriEst contains 80% estriol, 10% estrone, and 10% estradiol. A prescription written for 2.5 mg of BiEst will actually contain 2 mg of estriol (E3) and 0.5 mg of estradiol (E2) if using a conventional 80:20 ratio.
