Get Custom Medicine To Better Treat What Ails You: Compounding Pharmacy Columbia SC
Commercial medicine is limited to what’s available in a box. Your local compounding pharmacy thinks outside of the box and makes personalized medicine.
Custom Dosages, Flavored Medicines, Topical Formulations, Hypo-Allergenic Options, and More
Compounding pharmacies take the active ingredients of the prescription drugs that you need and create custom medication that is formulated just for you. Whether you have allergies or your child needs a liquid form of a medication which is only commercially offered in tablets, we have a solution for you and your family.
The Benefits Of A Community Compounding Pharmacy
Medicine For Children
If you’re tired and frustrated with the process of giving your child a pill or bitter tasting medicine, compounded medicated flavored syrups are the solution. Since all compounded drugs are custom made, the dosage will be tailored perfectly to your child’s age and weight.
Fertility Treatments
Commercially available fertility treatments for men and women are often limited to a narrow range of options and dosages. To get the desired results without serious side effects, fertility treatments benefit from the carefully calibrated dosing which only compounding can provide.
Hard To Find Medication
If you find out that the medication that most effectively treats your condition has been discontinued by the manufacturer or is no longer available in your area, compounding is often a great solution. Our compounding pharmacists can create medication suited to your unique needs.
Hospice Patient Care
Palliative care can be complicated by diseases which make swallowing difficult - rendering the most common form of medicine, pills, all but useless. We can formulate medicine into powders, sublingual tablets, and more to allow care to continue even in extremis.
Hypo-Allergenic Formulations
From binders to dyes to preservatives, prescription drugs contain more than active ingredients. If you have severe allergies, sensitivities, or a ketogenic diet these may result in unwanted side-effects. We can compound medicine without additives, talk to your pharmacist to learn more!
Senior Citizens
Compounded medicines are great for older adults as we have formulations which are easier on the digestive system, easier to swallow, or even custom dosages to match what your doctor recommends without the need for splitting pills! Talk to our pharmacists to see how we can help.
Hormone Replacement Therapy
HRT patients have historically used medicines intended for a wide range of purposes, and thus rarely have been able to get their medicine in the proper dosages. Working with your doctor, our compounding pharmacists are able to formulate custom dosages which better fit your body.
Sports Medicine
Athletes place unique demands on their bodies and can benefit from compounded medicine. Oral anti-inflammatories can irritate the digestive system, while compounded creams and transdermal gels target pain right at the source. Personalized medicine helps you perform your best!
Chronic Diseases & Pain Management
People with chronic diseases and pain often are reliant on prescriptions to treat their conditions. Commercial drugs may have unwanted side effects or require the chore of pill-splitting to get correct dosages. Compounded options can reduce side effects and ensure every pill is the right dose you need.
Veterinary Compounding
Administering medications to your pet is always a challenge. Between the extra trips to the vet, limited dosages, and the unenviable task of convincing them to swallow a pill, the whole process is a chore. Our compounded medications offer custom dosages and easy-to-administer formulations.
