Ordering your compounding medicine has never been so easy

Types of compounding medicine

Compounding medicine has many uses, such as dermatological, pediatric, geriatric, pain management, veterinarian and hormone replacement therapy. A compounding pharmacy such as ours can meet those needs by offering it’s customers an easy online ordering process.

Dermatological – ever wondered whether there could be a cream out there that could help with your skin condition. Dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, acne and skin depigmentation have been a growing concern within the community. Certain creams that can help with this sort of condition can be bought off the shelf; however, compounding creams have proven over the years to be very useful in curing these skin conditions.

Pediatric – giving medication to children can be very daunting on parents and even on the child. Sometimes increasing the concentration to give less medication or changing the flavor can increase children compliance towards their medicine. Compounding medicine to lollipops or tasty suspensions creates a piece of mind for parents and ensures the child is receiving their required therapeutic dose.

Geriatric – the older we get the harder it is to take our required medications. Dry mouth is one of the major side effects that affects the elderly, making it hard to swallow capsules or tablets. Changing the formulation of the medicine will make it easier for geriatrics to administer their medicine by either suspension, syrup, lozenges or even troches.

Pain management – when taking pain medication for a long period of time, occasionally your body might become dependent or tolerant on the medication you are taking. Compounding the same medication to suite your needs will diminish the unwanted side effects and maximize relief. These compounded pain medications can be made in the form of creams, ointments, gels, sprays, capsules and many more.

Veterinarian – most off-the-shelf medications that are supplied by manufacturers are normally designed for humans rather than animals. Compounding a certain medication to suite your pets need that is made from the same active ingredient can be very helpful. Formulations such as creams, ointments, gels, oral liquids and chewable treats are most commonly used to treat your ill fury friend.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) – as we grow older our hormones in our bodies begin to fluctuate causing unwanted symptoms such as insomnia, weight gain or weight loss, mood changes, acne, stomach pain and many more. These side effects can be reduced with the help of compounding medicine to suite an individual’s hormone levels. These compounded medicines can be formulated to troches, capsules, tablets, vaginal suppositories, creams and gels.
