Our
pharmacists can research a particular topic for you and provide
information if you are interested in finding out more before
talking with your physician. Reference and informational
resources are available by request. Our pharmacy has a
Book Rental Policy so you can check out a resource and return it
for a minimum charge if the book is returned in good condition.
*Our compounding
pharmacist can offer many unique options for pain management,
regardless of pain origin and whether pain is acute or chronic.
By working together with patient, physician, and other members
of the health care team, we can individualize medications and
make necessary adjustments to maximize pain relief.
Dosage Forms
Pharmacy Express Compounding Centers focus on meeting a
patient’s special needs. We want the medication to be palatable
and convenient to use, otherwise, the patient may stop a needed
treatment that their doctor has prescribed. Many patients have
trouble taking certain medications in their original form. One
way we customize medications is by altering the dosage form.
There are many ways to take a medication and we want to make
sure we can find the most effective outcome, if that means
changing how a prescription is administered. For example, if a
baby cannot take a liquid orally, we can sometimes make that
medication into a cream to rub and absorb into the skin and into
the bloodstream.
Some of the dosage
forms available to the compounding pharmacist include:
Capsules – immediate
and slow (sustained) release, Creams, Drops, Effervescent
Flavored Powders, Foams, Gels, Gummy Treats, Nasal sprays, Lip
balms, Lollipops, Lozenges, Nail Paints, Ointments, Pastes,
Powders,
Rapid Dissolve
Tablets, “Rectal Rockets”, Solutions, Sprays, Sublingual tablets
or drops, Suppositories for Rectal or Vaginal Use, Suspensions,
Tinctures, Topical liquids, Transdermal Creams and Gels for
Systemic delivery of medications, and Troches.
