Compounding

What is compounding?

Compounding combines an ageless art with the latest medical knowledge and state-of-the-art technology, allowing specially trained professionals to prepare customized medications to meet each patient’s specific needs. Compounding is fundamental to the profession of pharmacy and was a standard means of providing prescription medications before drugs began to be produced in mass quantities by pharmaceutical manufacturers. The demand for professional compounding has increased as healthcare professionals and patients realize that the limited number of strengths and dosage forms that are commercially available do not meet the needs of many patients, and that these patients often have a better response to a customized dosage form that is “just what the doctor ordered”.

There are many reasons why pharmacists are required to compound medications. A few are listed below:

  • Creating patient-specific dosages
  • Combining multiple medications into a single usable drug
  • Changing the dosage form to what is available. For example, making a suspension form for a patient that has difficulty swallowing tablets.
  • Developing allergy-free formulations

Common dosage forms include capsules, creams, gels, lotions, ointments, liquid formulations, lollipops, lozenges, mouthwashes, and suppositories.

Compounding specialties:

Men’s Health

Our pharmacists can help with many health issues that affect men of all ages. Many men have concerns about erectile dysfunction, low libido, prostate and bladder health, hair loss, excessive sweating, fungal infections, and aging skin. We will work closely with you and your healthcare provider to maintain your health with treatment personalized for you.

Hormone replacement therapy isn’t just for women – many men can benefit from this therapy too. Testosterone supplementation can increase testosterone levels to restore the natural balance which will reduce symptoms of andropause e.g. decreased libido, muscle mass, strength, and stamina, impotence, osteoporosis, depression, and anxiety.

Hormone Therapy

Hormones affect many areas of your health, including your mood, your metabolism, and your sexual and reproductive function. If your hormones become unbalanced, whether due to menopause or other factors, you may end up feeling like a stranger in your own skin. We offer compounded hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to restore balance and help you feel like yourself again. HRT is often prescribed to treat symptoms of women experiencing menopause, but it also can be used to treat a range of conditions that women of all ages may experience. These include pre-menstrual stress, infertility, endometriosis, vaginal dryness, post-partum depression, and irregular menstrual cycle.

Each woman’s body is different and has its own specific needs. Commercially available pills, patches and creams tend to be “one-size-fits-all” and our team at Precision Rx Pharmacy understand that this will not account for the differences between individuals. We will work closely with your healthcare provider to customise a HRT suited to your needs.
