What is a Compounding Pharmacy?
A compounding pharmacy is a type of pharmacy that can make customized medications to meet specific needs — including the precise low doses required for LDN therapy.

You've done the research. Now find a pharmacy that takes LDN as seriously as you do.
If you're exploring low dose naltrexone, chances are you didn't land here by accident. You've been reading studies. Listening to podcasts. Talking to a functional medicine provider, a rheumatologist, or an integrative physician who suggested LDN might be worth considering.
You've done the homework. What you need now is a compounding pharmacy that treats your prescription with the same precision and care you've put into getting this far.
That's what Kizer Pharmacy and Kizer Wellness was built for.
What Is Low Dose Naltrexone?
Naltrexone is a medication originally approved by the FDA at 50 mg doses for specific uses in addiction medicine. At much lower doses — typically between 0.5 mg and 4.5 mg — it has become the subject of growing clinical interest for its potential role in supporting patients with chronic inflammation, autoimmune conditions, and certain pain syndromes.
Because low dose naltrexone is not commercially available in these smaller dosages, it must be custom-compounded by a pharmacy equipped to prepare precise, individualized strengths. The difference between a 1.5 mg dose and a 4.5 mg dose is clinically meaningful, and the pharmacy preparing it needs the facility, equipment, and trained pharmacists to deliver exactly what your prescriber ordered.
LDN is rarely a one-and-done prescription. Most patients work with their provider to find their "sweet spot" — the specific dose where they feel the most benefit with the fewest side effects. That often means starting low and titrating up in small increments (sometimes as fine as 0.25 mg or 0.5 mg) over weeks or months. A precision compounding pharmacy is what makes that kind of careful dialing-in possible.
At Kizer, LDN is compounded as prescribed by your healthcare provider — typically as capsules, though liquid and topical formulations may be appropriate for certain patients — and we're set up to support your provider through every dose adjustment along the way.
Why LDN Requires a Compounding Pharmacy(And Why It Matters Which One You Choose)
A standard retail pharmacy can't fill a low dose naltrexone prescription in the dosages most prescribers write for it. The 50 mg tablets commercially available aren't designed to be split, crushed, or reformulated at home — and trying to DIY a precise 2 mg dose from a 50 mg tablet is neither accurate nor safe.
That's why LDN is a compounded medication. It requires a pharmacy with:
- Dedicated compounding equipment — Precision scales, capsule machines, and clean workstations calibrated for low-dose preparations.
- USP-compliant facilities — Our compounding facility meets USP-800 standards for the safe handling of active pharmaceutical ingredients.
- Trained compounding pharmacists — Five full-time pharmacists on staff, with decades of combined experience preparing custom formulations.
- Quality sourcing — Active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) sourced from FDA-registered suppliers, not a generic online warehouse.
The pharmacy filling your LDN prescription isn't a commodity detail. It's part of your treatment plan.

Frequently Asked Questions About LDN
Low dose naltrexone is a compounded medication prepared at doses much lower than the 50 mg tablets commercially available for other uses. Typical LDN doses range from 0.5 mg to 4.5 mg and are prescribed by a licensed healthcare provider. Because these doses aren't commercially available, LDN must be custom-compounded by a pharmacy equipped for precision preparation — which is what we do at Kizer Pharmacy and Kizer Wellness.
LDN has been the subject of growing clinical interest in the management of certain chronic conditions, including autoimmune disorders, chronic inflammation, and some pain syndromes. The decision to prescribe LDN — and for what condition — is made by your healthcare provider based on your individual medical history and clinical picture. Kizer Pharmacy and Kizer Wellness compounds LDN as prescribed; we do not diagnose or recommend its use.
Naltrexone is commercially available in 50 mg tablets for other FDA-approved uses. The much smaller doses used for LDN — typically 0.5 mg to 4.5 mg — aren't available as a commercial product. A compounding pharmacy like Kizer Pharmacy and Kizer Wellness has the facilities, equipment, and trained pharmacists to prepare LDN in precise, individualized dosages as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
LDN requires a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider — typically a primary care physician, functional medicine provider, rheumatologist, or integrative physician. If you're interested in exploring whether LDN may be appropriate for you, start the conversation with your healthcare provider. Once you have a prescription, our pharmacy team can work directly with your prescriber to compound it.
Yes. If you're currently filling LDN at another pharmacy and want to transfer to Kizer Pharmacy and Kizer Wellness, call us at (731) 885-2226 or schedule a consultation and our team will handle the transfer process with your current pharmacy and your prescribing provider. Most prescription transfers can be completed in a single phone call.
The most common formulation is capsules, compounded in the dosage your healthcare provider prescribes. In some cases, a liquid formulation or other preparation may be appropriate — this decision is made between you and your prescriber. Our pharmacy team can discuss the options available and coordinate with your provider as needed.
Because LDN is a compounded medication, it's prepared fresh for each prescription rather than dispensed from stock. Most LDN prescriptions can be compounded and ready for pickup or shipment within 1–3 business days, depending on our current compounding schedule. If you need your prescription more urgently, let our team know when you call and we'll do our best to accommodate.
Kizer Pharmacy and Kizer Wellness is licensed to dispense compounded medications to patients in Tennessee. Prescription compounds cannot be shipped outside of Tennessee. If you're located elsewhere, we recommend working with a compounding pharmacy licensed in your state — and we're happy to answer general questions about what to look for in a compounding pharmacy.
Coverage for compounded medications varies by insurance plan. Some plans cover compounded LDN, others don't, and some cover it partially. Our pharmacy team can help you understand your options and, if needed, discuss self-pay pricing before we compound your prescription — so there are no surprises.
All prescription medications carry potential risks and benefits that should be discussed with your healthcare provider. LDN has been generally well-tolerated in the clinical contexts it has been studied, though individual responses vary. Your prescriber is the right person to evaluate whether LDN is appropriate for you based on your full medical history. Kizer Pharmacy and Kizer Wellness's role is to compound your prescription accurately, safely, and as directed by your provider.
