COMPOUNDING PHARMACY
Dermatology - Providers
Introduction:
Each patient's dermatological condition is unique which can create a challenge for practitioners in regards to finding treatment options. Compounding pharmacists have the ability and experience to compound individualized therapies for numerous dermatological conditions including scarring, acne, rosacea, skin discoloration, psoriasis, and eczema.
Treatment Options
Treating these conditions often requires a multidisciplinary approach. Depending on the specific illness, a variety of drugs can be compounded into topical creams, lotions, gels, pastes, and ointments. Common agents used to compound formulations include calcium channel blockers (for circulation), anti-inflammatory agents, antihistamines, antipruritic agents, local anesthetics and many other classes of drugs.
