"Dedicated to Compounding Customized Medications to Meet Specific Patient Needs"

The patient's health and comfort are our primary concern. We work closely with the prescriber and patient to achieve our goal of meeting the unique needs of each patient.
Why use
compounded medications?
 
We can provide medicines which are simply not available commercially. Sometimes a medicine cannot be patented by a pharmaceutical company, and therefore it is not to their economic advantage to produce the medicine. Another reason a medicine may not be commercially available is that it may not be used widely enough to make commercial production practical. We make one special medicine for one special patient.

We can provide alternative dosage forms. Frequently medicines are only available in one form. This often presents a problem for patients who find that they are unable to swallow a large pill, don't like the taste of their medicine, or who simply don't wish to use a suppository. However, through compounding we can make a form of the medication that almost anyone can use. Examples of alternate dosage forms include:

Liquids: Some patients cannot swallow tablets, and their medicine is unavailable in a liquid dosage form. However, we can transform almost any pill into a tasty liquid. Many individuals find compounded liquids to be beneficial.

Transdermal Gels: This is a specially formulated gel which is able to pull medicine through the patient's skin. They are most frequently used on a painful area to relieve pain and inflammation, but they can also be used as a substitute for oral medications or suppositories. Each situation is considered individually as to the appropriateness of using the medicine transdermally.

Suppositories: Another route available when oral medicines can't be used is rectal (or in some cases vaginal) administration of medicines.

Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement: Have the same chemical structure as hormones that are made by the human body. There are significant differences between hormones that are natural to humans (bio-identical) and synthetic preparations.

These are just a few of the more popular choices for alternate dosage forms. We are able to create many other dosage forms such as troches, sprays, and even lollipops.
