Dermatology
Overview
The staff at
Hieber's
has been compounding preparations that treat dermatological
problems for over 100 years. We are constantly using our skills as compounders
to work with physicians to maximize therapeutic outcome.
Vehicles Commonly
Used in Dermatology
Foams-
Hieber's is excited to have a new foam delivery system
available to our customers. This foam is stored as a
liquid, which foams up when it comes in contact with the
air. We can work with your physician to combine the
foam with most medicinal powders in strengths that are not
commercially available.
Topical
Creams, Ointments, and Gels- Topical agents are the
quintessential vehicle for dermatology. We are
therefore quite experienced in compounding creams,
ointments, and gels.
Lip Balms and
Chap Sticks- Chap stick applicators can be used to
treat a variety of dermatology conditions, especially
those that are targeted to one area.
Solutions-
Solutions are often used to treat dermatological problems
on the scalp. These solutions may be agents used to
promote hair growth. Solutions can also be used as a good
vehicle to administer various medications for alopecia,
skin sensitivity, psoriasis, or any topical
infection.

Anti-perspirant-
We offer a wide array of anti-perspirant
prescriptions, such as glycopyrrolate which contains no
aluminum. Our pharmacist will
work with your physician to compound a prescription that
works for you.
Diaper Rash- At
Hieber's, we make a variety of diaper rash creams that
help protect your babies' buttocks from moisture while also
healing red, irritated skin. We can also add anti-fungal agents to the Diaper Cream
to help treat yeast infections.
Hair
Loss- We make a variety of solutions, creams,
lotions and gels to help stimulate hair growth for both
men and women.
Nail Removal-
Urea 40% cream can be used topically to remove a nail
from the nail bed safely and without pain.
Psoriasis-
We have a large variety of prescriptions used for
psoriasis that are both over-the-counter and prescription
items. Our new formulation uses Vitamin B-12 to
naturally reduce the symptoms of psoriasis.
Warts- Hieber's
offers an array of medications to treat warts including
Florosal. Florosal removes warts safely and without
pain. Our staff offers comprehensive counseling
for effective use of this topical agent.
