Like add a decongestant, expectorant, cough suppressant, etc., then the flavor or it would be yucky and kids wouldn't take it. Better than OTC for special kids disorders.

But they are not equipped to do the sterile compounding, with large labs and machines, that is necessary for power compounding to capsules. Most Pharmacies can do liquids. Mine never heard of LDN, so that scared me. They would be doing it by crushing a 50 mg tablet or two. I assume Skip buys powder in bulk. Same with liquid.

I will drink water or tea and a few cookies. Tee hee
Thanks,
Lady
You don't want to use a place that crushes the pills if you can avoid it. Skip uses the pure drug and adds some fillers to make up the capsules, but the fillers he uses are usually quite tolerable by most people.

My pharmacy buys the pure powder too, so I get no fillers at all in the liquid. He is a large drug "compounder", so he buys in bulk and has lots of experience with LDN. I would have gone with Skip, actually, but I am not organized enough to order in time (so that it is sure to cross the border/get through customs, etc. before my rx is up). As it is, my pharmacy is usually running around at the last minute, trying to accommodate my lack of planning.

The flavoring my guy uses is a combination of Tootie Fruity and Raspberry. We tried a couple of other flavors when he ran out, but they did not work as well with Naltrexone. The pharmacist said using the right flavoring might be as important as using the right fillers (not too slow release, etc.) . . . so, if you need to go the liquid route later, maybe your pharmacy can call my guy to get the right combo. I know that either of those (or both combined) works though ...
