We Offer Solutions to Problems...
In every medical practice there are a few patients who have not responded to traditional treatment or who have a unique need or medical circumstance. These patients can be helped! We work together with patient and practitioner to provide the best solutions for each medication need.

Compounding allows a practitioner to prescribe and a pharmacist to prepare a customized medication or to place an available medication in a different dosage form to meet a specific patient need and improve compliance.

FLEXIBILITY in prescribing - such as changing the dosage strength or the route of administration - is one of the many benefits available with compounded medications. Medication can often be prepared in a different dosage form and the concentration of flavor changed to make it more convenient to administer. Unique containers and delivery systems also provide many other options for medication administration.

UNAVAILABLE MEDICATIONS can be compounded by our pharmacists using pharmaceutical-grade chemicals and specialized equipment, into a formulation best suited to each patient's specific needs.

THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS!
Not only can we prepare common dosage forms - solutions, capsules, suspensions, suppositories, lotions and creams - our pharmacists can also compound transdermal gels, powders, otic insufflations, oral rinses, nasal sprays, troches, lip balms, and more to meet your patient's special needs.

NOT EVERY PHARMACY CAN COMPOUND
Preparation of these specialized medications requires chemicals and equipment that are not available in most pharmacies. Our pharmacists have received extensive additional training in compounding techniques. We have a support network that generates a constant exchange of ideas, innovations and techniques, and includes several Ph.D. chemists and pharmacists who can research the feasibility of new formulations.

Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy is available in various dosage forms and delivery systems, and can be compounded to contain precise dose of each hormone which is needed. Bio-identical hormones may include: Estriol or Estradiol.

VETERINARY COMPOUNDING
Pets often need special flavors or items not commercially available. We can provide specialized dosage forms to meet their needs.
