WHAT IS COMPOUNDING?

Pharmacy compounding is the art and science of preparing customized medication for patients. Each compounded prescription is created to the prescriber’s specifications to meet the patient’s unique needs and improve patient compliance and outcomes. Using commercially available products, high tech molds, bulk chemicals, and new drug delivery systems, our pharmacy can compound medications that give the prescriber control of the dosage form and strength of medication.

​

Is the patient allergic to fillers, dyes, preservatives, or other additives? We can make medications allergy free, lactose free, alcohol free, and sugar free. We can make commercially unavailable preparations. Does the patient have difficulty swallowing pills? We have a solution. Does the medication have a bad taste? We can flavor it.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM COMPOUNDING?

Everyone! Men, women, seniors, children, and even pets!

At Melrose Pharmacy, we compound prescriptions for everyone's individual needs. From flavoring kids medication, creating custom pain management medications, transforming your pet's medication into a yummy treat, to creating customized hormone replacement therapy medications!

HORMONE THERAPY

Bio-identical hormone replacement (BHRT) refers to creating plant-derived hormones that are biologically identical to those hormones that naturally occur.

LOW-DOSE NALTREXONE

Did you know that low dosages of Naltrexone can be used to treat chronic pain, autoimmune disorders, inflammation, and more! As an opiate receptor antagonist, low dose Naltrexone signals your body to increase endorphin production causing pain relief.

PAIN MANAGEMENT

Pain is the most common reason why people seek medical help, and we all know that many commercial dosage strengths, forms or other factors often lead to unwanted side effects, or other medication issues. Our compounded pain creams are customized to fit your individual pain management needs.

GET MEDS PRE-SORTED!

VETERINARY

We believe your pets deserve the best care. That is why we make medication time an easier feat for both you and your furry friends by altering the delivery form, adjusting medication strength, and making the medication fit their taste buds.
