Among the items we make:

Creams

Capsules

Lotions

Lollipops

Ointments

Suppositories

Flavored liquids

Eye drops

Some of our elderly patients suffer from chronic dry eyes.  We can compound serum eye drops to help with this problem.  Some other eye drops we make regularly are Amikacin eye drops and Amphotericin B eye drops.  

Injections

Using aseptic technique, we can prepare sterile injections.  We use in-house testing to ensure that our   products are sterile.

Lollipop

The lollipop is used as a drug delivery system for nicotine polacrilex for smoking cessation to help people stop smoking.  For children, lollipops are sometimes used by dentists with Tetracaine (an anesthetic) to diminish the gag reflex.

Pacifier

This pacifier has a compartment for medicine, making it a convenient medication delivery vehicle for infants.

Poly-Ox

Poly-ox is a non-prescription powder (applied with the device shown) which acts as a protective bandage for mouth ulcers and certain other oral conditions. When prescribed by your doctor, we can add drugs such as triamcinolone 0.1% or clobetasol 0.05% (topical steroids more potent than hydrocortisone) and the anesthetic lidocaine.

Pluronic Lethicin Organogel (PLO)

Transdermal PLOs help deliver medicines such as bio-identical hormones directly through the skin.  Each dose is metered to allow for precise dosages.  

Suppositories

We make both vaginal and rectal suppositories.  We can incorporate most oral medications into a suppository form, which is helpful for those who can not swallow or who are nauseous.

Tube/Syringe

Many times customers prefer a cream, gel or ointment in a tube. Tubes are easier to extract contents from and have the benefit of attaching to a topical syringe for accurate topical dosing. Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy is an example where exact topical doses are used.
