Pavilion Compounding Pharmacy, LLC, a PCAB (Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board) accredited compounding pharmacy, which is a sub-specialty administered by the Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC), has secured clomiphene citrate powder for compounding during the current shortage.
Blending Clomiphene Citrate
As with many formulas, we are able to compound in any strength, required by your Physician and customize to the many fillers we have available to us. Filler options include microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel®), Loxoral®, ascorbic acid, and many other fillers we have in our laboratory.
Who Uses Clomiphene Citrate
Clomiphene is typically used as an infertility treatment in women. In men, we often see clomiphene being used to increase the production of testosterone. Clomiphene blocks estrogen’s affinity with the pituitary gland, thus an increase in Luteinizing Hormone, follicle stimulating Hormone, and consequently an increase in testosterone production.
Dosing in men is is 50mg every other day or 25mg on a daily. Benefits are seen in 3 months typically, with increasing sperm counts for men. In women, clomiphene is indicated for an anovulatory female desiring pregnancy.
Our Compounding Method
Our state-of-the-art laboratory uses the latest equipment for powder blending, thus ensuring a complete uniform mixture. This is accomplished by using our RAM (resonant acoustic mixer) that uses both vibration and sound waves to provide powder blends with reproducible accuracy.
