Early in his practice Lloyd became acutely aware that women taking hormonal birth control were experiencing a myriad of problems both physical and psychological—they were becoming “sick” and other drugs or pharmaceuticals were being added in an attempt to alleviate problems. This strange clinical practice, unique only to this class of drugs, caused Lloyd to interview hundreds of women and amass statistics and studies for thirty-five years. His latest book, The Pill—America's Sacred Cow is now available. Lloyd's Remedies (“A Pro-Life, Pro-Family Pharmacy”) is designated as an Apothecary to indicate the refreshing uniqueness and originality of the new concept of an independent, community pharmacy. With the aggressive acquisition of independent and small chain pharmacies by national chain stores and the demise of the corner drugstore, Lloyd's Remedies is a new and adaptable model of family and community pharmacy developed in response to the insistence and consistent petitioning of the people of communities throughout South Louisiana. After service convenience and competitiveness, many people travel relatively long distances in order that they can receive the specialty care and concern that Mr. Lloyd offers. Lloyd Duplantis, RPh, PD, is a compounding pharmacist, specializing in hormonal preparations. He operates LLOYD'S REMEDIES in Gray Louisiana. Lloyd and Faie have been married forty-two years; have seven children and fourteen grand children. Lloyd is an ordained permanent deacon for the diocese of Houma-Thibodaux.
