There are many ways that compounding can help you.   

First, No two people are exactly alike, so it makes sense that not all people should be taking the same exact medication.  Thus, the most important reason for compounding is to be able to tailor-make medications to fit your exact needs as an individual.  You can think of compounded medications as “personalized” medicines.

Chronic pain has been shown in new studies to be better relieved with topically applied transdermal pain and with fewer side-effects compared to taking the same medications by mouth.  These Pain Gels are only available at a compounding pharmacy

Natural or Bio-identical hormones for women that more closely resemble the body’s hormones and avoid many unpleasant side effects can be compounded to avoid the risks of synthetic hormones.

We can also help if you have any of the following medication problems:  you have difficulty swallowing pills, or if your medication has been discontinued, or if your child refuses to take cherry-flavored medication, and it doesn’t come in any other flavor, or if you’re allergic to an inactive ingredient in your medication like dyes or preservatives, or if your tired of hearing phrases like, “there’s nothing on the market for you?” or “you’re just going to have to live with your problem.”  We can custom-make your medication in a liquid instead of table, use a different or better flavor, or make your medication without the ingredients your allergic to.

Lastly, many formulations will never be commercially developed due to difficulty in obtaining patents and lack of market demand. Compounding allows for medical treatments that otherwise may not be possible.

There are many special needs in health care, and compounding allows us to meet those needs, one patient at a time.
