Compounding of medications has allowed us to customize a formulation, upon the request of a physician, to best suit a patient’s need. We are able to compound:

· Drugs, through transdermal route, {found to be of great advantage in situations where in a transdermal 
absorption would provide a therapeutic effect} ex: NSAID, by itself or in combination with muscle relaxants, steroids, analgesics, antipruritic, antiviral etc.

· By varying the composition of the gel, cream or the ointment base, the penetration of the active ingredient can  be controlled to get a desired result. 

Injectables {preservative free or custom aseptic compounding} ex: pain meds, intrathecal injectables, or eye 
preparations.

We specialize in customizing medications to meet unique patient and unique physicians needs. If you read about something in a medical journal and would like for us to source it or formulate it for your patients, please feel free to call one of our compounding pharmacist at (516) 467-5220 or fax at (516) 467-5224. We will mail directly to patients or physicians office. Our commitment to our patients and physicians is always our priority. We hope you will allow us to help you to help your patients.

Pharmacy compounding is the art and science of preparing customized medications for patients. Its practice dates back to the origins of pharmacy, yet the presence of compounding throughout the pharmacy profession has changed over the years. The pharmacist's role in preparing medications quickly changed to that of a dispenser of manufactured dosage forms. Within the last two decades, though, compounding has experienced resurgence, as modern technology and innovative techniques and research have allowed more pharmacists to customize medications to meet specific patient needs. Today, an estimated one percent of all prescriptions are compounded daily by pharmacists working closely with physicians and their patients.

In the simplest terms, we help physicians and patients solve medication problems:
Unique medication strengths: A medicine may be available only in one or two strengths. However, a physician may find that the best dose is not one of those. We can prepare a dosage that meets the physician and patients needs. Therefore, there is no need to take too much medicine which could cause adverse effects or too little which may not work for you.

Unique dosage forms: Medicines often are available only in tablets or capsules. Certain individuals with swallowing difficulties may need a liquid, suppository or other dosage form. Through compounding, we can make several varieties of dosage forms, including: capsules, topical and vaginal creams, gels, oral and topical liquids, lozenges, troches, rapid dissolving tablets, mini troches, suppositories, injectables and more.

Unavailable medications: Pharmaceutical companies may stop making products for which there is a limited demand. If we can obtain the medicine in its chemical form, we can compound it for you. 

Bad tasting medicine: Some individuals will not take a medicine because of bad taste. This is a special problem when a medicine must be taken for several months or years to control a chronic health problem. We can prepare dosage forms in flavors that people like. We have 40 different flavors (from peppermint to orange-guava-melon). 

Allergies: Commercial medicines may contain flavors, preservatives, dyes and fillers. If a patient is allergic to any one of these ingredients using that medicine could result in unpleasant or life-threatening reactions. We can prepare medicines that are free of materials to which a patient is known to be allergic.
