Why Compounding?
Medications specific to YOU
Pharmacy compounding is the art and science of preparing personalized medications for patients. Compounded medications are individual ingredients that have been mixed together in a particular strength, dosage and form based on a physician’s prescription. This practice allows the compounding pharmacist to work closely with the patient and the prescriber to customize a medication that meets the patient’s specific needs.

When men and women age, their hormone levels will decline, causing significant changes in the body including low energy, weight gain, difficulty sleeping, and loss of libido. BHRT may help relieve these symptoms and possibly reduce the risk of many diseases associated with aging, including cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, and senility.

Weight Management
When nutrition and exercise are not resulting in the desired weight loss results, patients may find there are numerous factors that can affect weight, including hormonal issues.
​
Hormones are the most powerful chemical messengers in the body, and when it comes to weight loss and feeling well, can make it or break it. In addition to blood sugar control and insulin balance, hormones control metabolism and therefore are intricately connected to the amount of fat you gain or lose. In other words, burning fat and achieving successful weight loss is in fact partly a hormonal event.
Pain Management
On average, individuals seek medical guidance for pain than any other symptom experienced, but too often patients are experiencing the unwanted side effects like dizziness, drowsiness and stomach pain from commonly prescribed, commercially available pain medications. Many patients that take these medications believe that these conditions are simply a part of daily life, but don’t realize there may be a better solution offered through pharmacy compounding, which allows personalized pain relief.
Every individual is unique, and the types of pain experienced can be equally diverse. By working with a compounding pharmacist, your healthcare provider can prescribe treatments tailored specifically for your pain management needs.
Veterinary Medicine
The practice of pharmacy compounding has become a popular solution to veterinary ailments. Animals often have variations of the same diseases as humans, including skin rashes, eye and ear infections, heart conditions, cancer, and diabetes. Medicating pets presents unique problems that often are best dealt with through compounding.
