From older drugs that are no longer commercially available, to cutting edge therapies used in hormone replacement therapy and anti-aging medicine, you now have the opportunity to initiate that customized therapy.

We utilize only the finest quality chemicals and the best equipment to prepare our patients’ compounded medications and nutritional supplements.


As with all prescription medications, compounded medications require a valid prescription from a licensed physician. We are always happy to contact your doctor to discuss treatment options as well as inform him or her about therapies that we have found helpful for other patients with similar health concerns.

We can compound almost any prescription drug that might be needed. The following are categories of products that are commonly compounded:

The pharmacy includes a Class 100 certified clean room for preparing sterile products, a dedicated capsule room and, state of the art compounding facilities.In order to best aid people in becoming well, we constantly research the causes of illness and strive to provide the most cutting-edge treatments.


 
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement (BHRT) - These medications include estrogens, progesterone, and testosterone (prepared in capsules, creams, drops, or gels) that are identical those found in the human body. It is believed that these hormones are safer because they exactly replace those produced by the body itself. The NIH's Women's Health Initiative found in one large trial of over 16,000 women that use of the commercially available conjugated estrogens/progestin (Prempro™) is not advisable after 4-5 years.(Read more about this trial here). Many other bio-identical hormone replacement products are also available including pregnenolone, liothyronine, DHEA, and human growth hormone. People (both men and women) use hormone supplements to maintain proper body function. and reverse the effects of aging.
 

Pain Medications
 - No one should have to live with constant pain. Some people metabolize pain medications (especially opiates) very rapidly and need higher doses to get relief. Sometimes, for a wide variety of reasons, taking a single type of pain medication isn't sufficient. Palm Beach Compounding Pharmacy will work with you and your doctor to help you obtain relief from chronic pain. We can customize combinations of pain relievers into creams or gels that will work at the site of the pain while sparing you some of the side effects. Don't let you or a loved one suffer with chronic pain any longer, call us today for help!


Wound Care and Other Skin Preparations
 - Diabetic patients and others often have leg or foot wounds that are difficult to heal. Sometimes, a combination of medications compounded into a gel or cream will aid in healing. These typically include a medicine to improve blood flow (nifedipine), an antibiotic, and a skin protectant. Hemorrhoids are also difficult to treat. Suppositories with anesthetics, anti-inflammatories, and a vasoconstrictor may be used.

Veterinary Products - Obtaining the correct dosages for very small or very large animals sometimes requires compounding. Also, there are some medications that need to be re-fomulated into gels for animals that refuse oral medications (e.g. cats). There are other medicines that must be compounded because they are no longer commercially available.
