Our Compounding Services
Compounding pharmacies manufacture personalized drugs for patients using a variety of scientific approaches. The pharmacist and pharmacy staff must have particular training and experience in order to construct and generate these specialized mixes. Gels, creams, ointments, lotions, capsules, lozenges, suppositories, liquid oils, and suspensions are some examples of chemical kinds. Orchards Pharmacy is glad to provide all of the above and more.
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
Orchards Pharmacy has a long history of compounding hormone replacement therapy medications. Instead of synthetic hormones or compounds that mimic hormones, bio-identical hormone replacement therapy uses hormones that are identical to those found in the human body. We can make bio-identical estrogens, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA creams, capsules, suppositories, and lozenges. The bypass of liver metabolism is one of the many advantages of transdermal hormone administration. We employ soothing, moisturizing, visually beautiful cream bases that are safe for vaginal use and perfect for medicine delivery through the skin. We also employ metered-dose dispensers, which provide precise dosing.
Topical Pain Therapies
Pain management is a complicated and demanding field of medicine. Orchards Pharmacy specialized in the use of compound creams and gels to relieve pain. We have pharmacists that have been trained in pain treatment. We can determine the optimum pain medication for our patients based on the particular knowledge we gained from that training and our expertise as compounding professionals.
Anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants, counter-irritants, anaesthetics, and nerve pain medications are among the active pharmaceuticals used by our pharmacists to treat our patients. With our knowledge, we can select the most appropriate vehicle for delivering active substances through the skin for the most effective pain relief. Versapro®, Transdermal Pain Base®, Lipoderm®, and PLO Diclogel® are some of the bases we employ.
Cosmetic Compounds
Compounding cosmetic mixes is something Orchards Pharmacy has a lot of experience with. Dermatologists and other prescribers who treat patients for aesthetic disorders have built connections with us. We create high-quality blends with substances including glycolic acid, retinoic acid, hydroquinone, kojic acid, finasteride, and minoxidil to treat hyperpigmentation (dark spots), wrinkles, acne, and hair loss.
Additionally, selecting the appropriate base cream to transport the chemicals to the skin is critical to achieving the desired outcome. We employ a variety of bases intended expressly for cosmetic application, including several that we developed ourselves.
Other Dosage Forms
Compounding is the scientific process of generating and manufacturing personalized medications for individuals suffering from a variety of ailments. As a result, it’s not commonplace for drugs to be compounded as capsules, suppositories, suspensions, oils, and lozenges. We are pleased to provide these services to our patients and colleagues at Orchards Pharmacy.
