Medications with a Personal Touch To Solve Problems and Improve your Quality of Life

June 24th, 2010

 
- Are commercially available medications simply not working for you?
- Do you have allergies or need medications which are free of problem-causing ingredients such as sugar, lactose, dyes, alcohol, gluten, or preservatives?
- Are you concerned about or unable to take a medication due to side effects?
- Do you need a medication that is unavailable?
- Would it be easier to take a medication unavailable in the strength, flavor and dosage form that is best for you?
 
We can help by compounding a customized medication that meets your specific needs. We will prepare your medication using the finest ingredients from an FDA-inspected and approved supplier. Our compounding laboratory contains precision equipment (such as an ointment mill and capsule machine) that is not found in most pharmacies, enabling us to compound each medication to exact specifications. We can change the route of administration - for example from oral to transdermal - to simplify administration or decrease side effects, enhance compliance to medication protocols and improve therapeutic outcomes.
 
If the flavor or smell of a medication is a problem, we have the solution! Over a hundred flavors are available to please the palates of children, the elderly, those who are chronically ill, and even our furry and feathered friends! Root beer, watermelon, coffee, beef or fish are just a few examples.
 
Topical and transdermal creams and gels can be compounded for patients cannot swallow their medications and to avoid side effects and reduce the risk of interactions associated with oral administration. Medication can be placed in a transdermal base for absorption through the skin to treat a systemic problem, such as nausea; or applied topically to the problem area to relieve pain, inflammation, or spasms.
 
Patients with chronic or terminal illness are often unable to swallow tablets or capsules but wish to remain at home and avoid injections. Many types of medications including those needed to control nausea, seizures, and pain can be compounded as solutions, suspensions, lozenges, lollipops, transdermal creams or gels, suppositories, etc., to make it easier for both caregivers and patients.
 
When you need a medication that is unavailable or has been discontinued for a non-safety reason, we can usually obtain the active ingredient in chemical form and compound the preparation.
