Some
reasons why you might consider
a compounded prescription...
Dosage Unavailable
Commercial medications come available in only certain strengths.
Yet, your doctor may find that you need a more specific dose.
We can prepare a dosage form that will contain exactly this
amount. You no longer need to take too much or too little
medicine, causing adverse side effects or ineffectiveness.

Dosage
Form Unavailable
Medicine is often available only in tablets or capsules. Frequently,
infants and certain individuals have difficulty swallowing.
They need the peace of mind that alternate dosage forms can
provide them with...
- Pleasant
tasting liquids
- Easy
to dissolve lozenges
- Painless
inhalant solutions
- Suppositories
- Creams
- Lotions
- Gels

Medicine
Unavailable
Pharmaceutical manufacturers, at times, stop making products
for which there is limited demand or a newer medicine is available
on the market. However, some people have always responded
well to their medication, and don't want to change to sometimes
a more expensive alternative. Once we obtain the chemical
form of the medicine, we can compound the prescription and
help them continue their therapy.

Medicine
Taste Unpleasant
Commercial products are usually available in only one flavor.
Too often, children and even some adults find the flavor disagreeable
and do not take their medication. We can prepare dosage forms
in a number of different flavors, actually improve the original
flavor, and even mask some of the bitter aftertaste to meet
their individual needs. A wide variety of flavorings can be
added to medicines, including:
- Cherry
- Strawberry
- Orange
- Grape
- Tangerine
- Raspberry
- Lemon
Lime
- Banana-Orange
- Banana
- Watermelon
- Tropical

Inconvenient
To Use
A patient may have a skin problem that requires more than
one type of medicated cream. However, most skin creams have
only one active ingredient, so the patient would have to use
two or three different creams. This is often inconvenient
and costly. We can compound these active ingredients into
one cream, providing a more convenient and cost effective
solution.

Known
Allergy
Most commercial medicines contain flavors, preservatives,
dyes, and other inactive fillers. If a patient is allergic
to any one of these ingredients, unpleasant or life threatening
consequences could result. We can prepare these medicines
without any of the materials to which a patient is known to
be allergic.
