Dermatology Compounding

Our compounding professionals can prepare individualized therapies for a myriad of dermatologic problems. Compounding pharmacists continue to improve both the aesthetic and therapeutic aspects of customized medications, offering alternatives and advantages for dermatology. We can compound medications into cosmetically appealing creams, topical sprays and powders, as well as create customized oral dosage forms (such as flavored troches or lollipops) and various preparations for other routes of administration. Compatible drugs can be combined into a single dosage form to simplify a medication administration schedule and improve compliance. USP approved chemicals can be utilized to enhance the absorption of topically applied medications. We commonly prepare unique formulations that physicians develop to meet specific needs of their patient population, or "tried and true" formulas acquired during medical training.

Examples of Compounded Medications

The following list is just a few of the preparations that we can compound for dermatology. We work together with prescriber and patient to solve problems, and all formulations are customized per prescription to meet the unique needs of each patient. Therapeutic results depend not only on the selection of drug, but also the use of a proper base and preparation technique. Please contact our compounding pharmacist to discuss the dosage form, strength, and medication or combination that is most appropriate for your patient.

Benefits of compounded medications

There are many benefits to using compounded medications to treat your dermatological problems:

• For ease of delivery, medications can be compounded into many different forms such as creams or ointments; topical sprays and powders; lozenges, lollipops, or freezer pops. Plus, to make administration simpler, we can combine compatible drugs into a single dosage.
• When medications are out of stock or unavailable, we can obtain the drug as a bulk powder and compound a similar preparation.
• We can compound medications without unnecessary additives and preservatives. Some of the ingredients we use even enhance the absorption of topically applied medications.
• We develop compounded medications according to each patient's individual needs, providing the most appropriate, beneficial dosage with a reduced risk of side effects.
• We can compound specialized and unique formulations that your physician has specifically developed to meet the needs of his/her patients.
