Focus on Weight Loss Before the Holidays

The holiday season is terrible for weight control. As if all the parties with their decadent foods and colorful cocktails weren’t enough to pop a button, there are the cookie swaps, potluck dinners, and the food gifts. Then there’s the stress of buying gifts, decorating the house, party planning, and school holiday vacation. This goes on for weeks!

What is compounding? Why would I use it?

As you may know by now, VH Pharmacy specializes in pharmacy compounding. But what exactly does that mean? And more specifically, what does it mean for you? We’re glad you asked. Pharmacy compounding is the art and science of making personalized medications for patients. They’re made from scratch, meaning that individual ingredients and flavors are mixed together in the exact dosage and form required by you – that means no one-size-fits-all prescription strengths or dosage forms.
