Today at Doctor’s Choice Pharmacy, a patient came in looking hopeful. She placed a prescription on the counter and asked, “My doctor prescribed Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN) for my Hashimoto’s. I’ve never heard of this before—how does it help?”

I smiled, knowing that LDN is becoming a popular option for patients with autoimmune thyroid conditions. “That’s a great question! LDN is a compounded medication that modulates the immune system and reduces inflammation. While it’s more commonly used for pain management, studies suggest it may help with autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.”

She looked intrigued. “So, does it replace my thyroid medication?”

“No,” I explained. “LDN does not replace levothyroxine or other thyroid medications. Instead, it works by regulating the immune system and reducing autoimmune activity, which may help slow thyroid destruction and improve symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and joint pain.”

She asked, “How does it work exactly?”

“LDN works by temporarily blocking opioid receptors in the brain, which triggers the body to increase endorphin production. This has a balancing effect on the immune system, potentially reducing inflammation and slowing the attack on the thyroid.”

She nodded, still curious. “Are there side effects?”

“Most people tolerate LDN well,” I reassured her. “Some might experience vivid dreams or mild insomnia at first, but these usually improve with time. Since LDN is compounded, we can start at a low dose and adjust as needed.”

Before she left, I added, “Since LDN isn’t available commercially, we custom compound it in precise doses based on your doctor’s prescription. And yes, we offer free delivery, so you’ll never miss a dose!”

She smiled. “I’m really excited to see if this helps my symptoms!”

At Doctor’s Choice Pharmacy, we specialize in compounded solutions for autoimmune conditions, hormone balance, and personalized medication options.

Until tomorrow,
