Compounded Medications

Pain medications should provide relief and not more challenges. That’s why we are here.

Although there are countless mass-produced pain relievers available, not all are a perfect match for the patient. Many pain medications come with unwanted side effects and others may not work to the ultimate benefit of a patient, when interacting with other medications.

Natural HRT Goals for Women

The most common method of hormone replacement therapy or HRT is the treatment of menopausal symptoms in women. As certain hormonal levels decrease, post-menopausal women experience a wide range of symptoms including night sweats, hair loss, insomnia, bone loss, hot flashes, decreased libido, mood swings and vaginal dryness.

Common natural HRT goals for women include:

• Restoring natural hormonal balance
• Returning the natural protective benefits that the original hormones were providing
• Diminishing the effects of post-menopausal symptoms that occur due to decreased hormone production.

Because every womans’ body and her hormonal makeup is unique, often mass-produced hormone treatments don’t work to a woman’s best advantage. Compounding can be the ultimate answer to a wide nuber of issues, including:

• Hormonal Issues
• Menopause
• Sleep issues
• Hot flashes
• Night sweats
• Weight gain
• Irregular menstrual cycle
• Moodiness
• Decreased libido
• Sexual Enhancement

Medoz Pharmacy can work with you and your physician to create an individualized hormonal replacement therapy plan to help relieve your symptoms.The natural hormones we provide are specifically created to have the identical chemical structure as those produced by your own body, so as to decrease adverse side effects.

These specialty prescriptions can be created in the perfect dosage, strength and delivery method for your unique situation.

Wound care is a sensitive area that compounding can be useful for.

As per a prescription order, a formulation can be compounded to contain the proper combination of active ingredients, in the most appropriate base, to treat a specific type of wound. 

For example, the choice between cream, ointment or gel can be clinically significant. Each time a wound needs to be cleaned, there is the potential for disruption of new tissue growth. Gels which are more water soluble than creams or ointments may be preferable for wound use because a gel can be rinsed from the wound by irrigation. Ointments may contain polyethylene glycol (PEG) which can be absorbed from open wounds and damaged skin. If the wound is quite large and too much PEG is absorbed, it can lead to renal toxicity.

Another useful dosage form is the “polyox bandage” which can be puffed onto a wound and will adhere even if exudate is present. A polyox bandage can be compounded to contain the active ingredient(s) of your choice.

We offer all types of wound care solutions including:

• New tissue growth stimulation
• Pain reduction
• Discourage bacterial overgrowth
• Odor Control
• Therapy for Wounds, Ulcerations, Donor Sites, and Burns
• Skin Irritation
• Severe Diabetic infected sores and wounds
