The typical compounding pharmacy creates custom medications for a huge variety of different people and different situations. Veterinary compounding takes things one step further by providing our animal friends with customised types of medicine. Learn more about the many different kinds of medication developed through pharmaceutical compounding by reading on below.

Medications for Women

Many women are looking for new alternatives to the commonly prescribed HRT. Through compounding we can provide women with safe and effective treatments containing pharmaceutical grade ingredients that are identical in structure to the hormones produced by human body. This type of treatment is called Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy and can be compounded into troches, capsules or creams to suit each individual.

Medications for Men

Men who are suffering from hair loss often turn to a Minoxidil containing product for help. Whilst this solution works for some men, many require a higher strength of Minoxidil to achieve optimum results. A compounding pharmacy can provide men with high strength Minoxidil topical solutions which also contain added pharmaceutical ingredients to better facilitate Minoxidil absorption.

Medications for Children

Children are one of the groups that benefit the most from pharmaceutical compounding. Kids are notoriously picky when it comes to prescription medication - they abhor taking it - and compounding offers many more enjoyable ways for them to take their medicine. From lozenges to lollipops, compounding helps the medicine go down much easier - and gives harried mums and dads a much needed bit of help during those frustrating situations.

Pain Relief Medications

Depending on the nature of an injury or illness, administering large quantities of tablets may be tricky - or downright impossible. In such cases, compounding steps in to make it easier and less stressful for people to get the pain relief they require. These solutions can include simple topical pain relief products which do not cause side effects and are an excellent alternative to consumers who are allergic to certain ingredients found in prescription medication.

Nutritional Supplements

One of the biggest complaints that many people have about nutritional supplements is that a large, bulky tablet is usually involved. Compounding offers many more enjoyable options, including oral suspensions or flavoured lozenges for children. Specialised amino acid formulations are also an easier alternative to measuring and mixing your own.

Insomnia Relief Medications

Finally, people turn to natural supplements to get help with their sleeping problems - Melatonin is one popular example. Many people however don’t realise that melatonin comes in many variations some of which simply do not provide users with the desired effect. Compounding pharmacies provide their customers with an effective solution that comprises of pharmaceutical grade Melatonin and can be compounded into a suspension or capsules.
