You may start hearing a new name for PCOS: PMOS, which stands for Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome.

A new global consensus study found that the name “polycystic o***y syndrome” can be misleading because PCOS is not actually caused by ovarian cysts. It is a complex condition that can affect hormones, metabolism, menstrual cycles, fertility, skin, hair growth, mental health, and long-term health risks.

The new name, PMOS, is meant to better reflect what the condition really involves: multiple hormone systems, metabolic health, and ovarian function.

This change will not happen overnight. Researchers and health organizations are planning a gradual transition over the next few years so patients, providers, researchers, and health systems can adjust. Ask our pharmacist for more information or if you think you may be experiencing PMOS.

The brain is one of our most vital organs and it is important to raise awareness about Alzheimer’s disease, other forms of dementia, and the importance of overall brain health.

As we age, supporting cognitive wellness becomes increasingly important. Brain health can affect memory, focus, mood, daily routines, and quality of life for both individuals and caregivers.

While there is no one-size-fits-all approach, our compounding pharmacy can work with patients and providers to explore personalized options, including professional-grade supplements and compounded medications when appropriate.

Scars can develop after injuries, surgeries, acne, or other skin concerns, and each scar can look and feel different depending on its size, type, age, and location.

Dermatology compounding allows providers to take a more personalized approach to scar care. Depending on the patient’s needs, customized formulations may include options such as silicone-based gels, anti-inflammatory ingredients, or other specialized components selected by the prescriber.

If you have concerns about scarring, talk with your healthcare provider about what may be appropriate for your skin.

Our compounding pharmacy can work with your provider to prepare customized dermatology options based on your individual care plan.
