Dermatology Compounding

Choose Customized Dermatology Medications for Increased Effectiveness

A pharmacy specializing in compounding can create a combination of drugs in specific mixtures to treat a wide variety of dermatology problems. If your skin is sensitive, you already have special pharmaceutical needs. Because creams or other commercial preparations may be too strong or too weak for your specific requirements, they can be ineffective or cause a reaction.

Your doctor can choose from a variety of preparations – gels, creams, ointments, sprays or powders – that are suitable to your lifestyle and skin problem. Compatible medications can be combined into a single dosage form to simplify a medication administration schedule and improve compliance. For example, resistant acne can be treated with customized formulations containing a combination of drugs that work together synergistically for the best results, which may result in fewer doses.

Proper healing depends on receiving the appropriate dosages and the best combination of medications. Because some dermatology patients are also allergic or sensitive to certain substances, by following a specific formula ordered by your doctor, we can eliminate trigger ingredients such as preservatives, perfumes, fillers, or dyes.

We can provide a valuable service to you through compounding by meeting those needs that are not being met with commercially available medications. For example, we are able to create compounded medications for many skin conditions, such as:

Cuts and wounds
Dark pigmentation
Dry, painful skin
Eczema
Facial and body acne
Fungal infections
Psoriasis
Rashes
Unsightly scars
Warts
