Good oral hygiene isn’t just about your teeth—it impacts your entire body. Poor oral health can lead to serious issues like heart disease, diabetes, respiratory infections, and even dementia. For example, bacteria from gum disease can enter the bloodstream, causing plaque buildup in arteries and increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Infected gums can also contribute to respiratory problems like bronchitis and pneumonia. Signs of poor oral health include tooth decay, bleeding gums, mouth sores, bad breath, and swelling in the mouth or jaw. To prevent these issues, brush and floss daily and visit the dentist regularly. For more tailored solutions, custom compounded dental medications may help provide pain relief, relieve dry mouth, and help reduce dental anxiety. Ask us how we can help to make your oral health routine easier.

Is it a sinus infection or a migraine? 💥It’s easy to confuse the two since they share similar symptoms like pain when bending forward, congestion, and facial pressure. However, there are key differences: migraines often are accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light or noise, while sinus infections typically involve thick, discolored nasal mucus, reduced sense of smell, and pain in the cheeks or upper teeth, usually following a cold. While sinus headaches can last for days or weeks, migraines may only persist for a few hours to a few days. Accurate diagnosis is crucial for treatment. If you’re dealing with persistent symptoms, consult your doctor for the right approach. Our pharmacist can offer suggestions for customized options for both migraine and sinusitis.

Cosmetic compounding combines the expertise of pharmacists and dermatologists to create customized skincare solutions tailored to specific needs. Unlike commercially available products, compounded options may include custom concentrations of active ingredients to address specific skin issues like acne, hyperpigmentation, or fine lines—while helping to minimize irritation and allergic reactions. Whether you're looking for anti-aging creams or specialized skin care treatments, compounding offers endless possibilities.

Interested in customized skincare? Talk to your dermatologist and our compounding pharmacist to see if it's right for you!

Las Colinas Pharmacy celebrates our 40th Anniversary and the Grand Opening of our new facility. Thank you to all of our sponsors, practitioners, vendors, elected officials, and employees for helping make it a special night to remember!

The immune system protects you by attacking harmful substances like bacteria, viruses, and toxins. It creates antibodies to destroy these invaders and "remembers" them to respond faster in the future—this is called immunity.

There are three types of immunity:
➡Innate Immunity: Your body's first line of defense, like your skin and white blood cells.
➡Adaptive Immunity: Developed through infection or vaccination and usually long-lasting.
➡Passive Immunity: Temporary protection, like antibodies from a mother’s breast milk.

Sometimes the immune system overreacts, causing allergies, asthma, or autoimmune diseases where it attacks healthy cells. Immunodeficiency diseases, like HIV, weaken the system, making you more prone to infections. If you have questions about immune health or how to support the immune system, talk to our pharmacist! 💪

💊 Did You Know? Certain medications block the absorption, storage, or synthesis of vital nutrients in your body, leading to deficiencies over time. People taking multiple medications are especially at risk. While nutrients are found in many foods, the levels may not always be enough, making high-quality supplements a possible option. 🥦

Here are some examples:
- Antibiotics may deplete B vitamins and Vitamin K.
- Statins (for cholesterol) may reduce CoQ10 levels.
- Antacids may lower magnesium, calcium, and Vitamin B12 absorption.
- Diuretics (for blood pressure) may deplete potassium, magnesium, and zinc.
- Oral Contraceptives may deplete folic acid, B vitamins, and magnesium.

If you're on long-term medications, consider talking to a healthcare professional about nutrient testing and professional supplement options to keep your body in balance! 🌿💪

If you're looking for a more natural approach to boosting your immune system, you're at the right place! Stop in to our pharmacy and pick up some elderberry syrup.

Many breast cancer survivors are under 50 and will experience menopause, often complicated by cancer treatments like chemotherapy or hormone therapies.

- Hot Flashes & Night Sweats
- Vaginal Dryness & Discomfort

Managing these symptoms may be challenging, but there are options, even after breast cancer! 💊 Our compounding pharmacists can work with you and your physician to find the best solutions for managing menopause symptoms. Life doesn’t stop after cancer—and we’re here to help. 💪💕

Autoimmune diseases can present a wide range of symptoms, from mild to severe, and it’s not always easy to identify them right away. While each autoimmune condition is unique, many share common symptoms, such as:

- Fatigue
- Joint pain & swelling
- Skin issues
- Abdominal pain or digestive problems
- Recurring fever
- Swollen glands

Diagnosis may be challenging because these signs often mimic other conditions, and there’s no single test for autoimmune disorders. Managing these symptoms is crucial for improving quality of life. If you’re experiencing persistent pain, inflammation, or other symptoms, talk to your healthcare provider and our pharmacist for guidance and possible treatment options, including low-dose naltrexone.

Pressure ulcers, also known as bedsores, can develop in individuals with limited mobility, especially those in long-term care, memory care, or assisted living facilities. Patients who are bedridden or use wheelchairs are at a higher risk, as are those with limited movement due to illness, surgery, or pain. Reduced mobility hinders blood circulation, making it harder for wounds to heal. Coexisting conditions such as diabetes, vascular disease, and weakened immune systems can make wound care even more complicated. If you or a loved one is at risk, speak to your healthcare provider about preventive measures and specialized care to promote healing and improve quality of life. Our pharmacy can offer customized wound care solutions tailored to each situation.🩹💙

💊 Pharmaceutical products often aren’t designed with children in mind. Many commercially available drugs contain unsafe ingredients or come in forms that aren’t suitable for some pediatric patients. Developing medications for pediatric patients requires careful attention to age-appropriate, weight-based dosing, and specialized formulas to help improve the safety and effectiveness of a medication protocol. Our compounding pharmacy is here to provide customized solutions that meet the unique needs of your child’s health. 🧸👶

Androgenic Alopecia, or male and female pattern baldness, is the leading cause of hair loss, affecting up to 70% of men and 40% of women. In men, it often starts as a receding hairline and thinning at the crown, while women may notice diffuse thinning across the top of the scalp. This condition is linked to an inherited sensitivity to androgenic hormones that cause hair follicle miniaturization. Poor nutrition, stress, and certain medications may also contribute to hair thinning and loss. 💊 Compounded treatments applied directly to the scalp may be helpful to treat, prevent, and even reverse hair loss! Our pharmacy can compound customized formulas and will work with you and your provider to create a customized solution that fits your needs. 💬✨

As summer turns to fall, many dogs start feeling the effects of seasonal allergies. Common culprits like ragweed pollen, mold spores, dust mites, and lingering fleas can cause itchy skin, hair loss, and ear infections. Keep an eye out for signs like excessive scratching, red or inflamed skin, and ear issues. If you notice these symptoms, consult your vet. Strategies like limiting outdoor time during peak pollen hours, regular baths with vet-approved shampoos, and keeping your home clean can make a huge difference. In some cases, a vet may prescribe medications to help manage symptoms. Our pharmacist can work with you and your vet to determine a medication and dosage form that may work for your dog. 🍁🐶

IBS can be a real challenge, with symptoms like cramping, pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea, and constipation disrupting your day-to-day life. Traditional treatments don’t always provide relief and may come with unwanted side effects. Recent research found that certain probiotics may significantly improve IBS symptoms. In addition to probiotics, adding soluble fiber to your diet may help manage symptoms by promoting a healthier gut microbiome. The GI tract, often called the "second brain," plays a crucial role in your overall health! If you’re dealing with IBS, our pharmacist is here to help you find the right support. 💬 Let's discuss how probiotics, dietary changes, and supplements may help make a difference in your health journey.
