Why We Love Compounding (And You Should, Too!)

You've heard us talk about compounding carry on about how it's the best form of medication available, but it's time that we put our money our where our mouth is. What exactly is compounding? What can it do for your body and your health? The team at our Lake of the Ozarks compounding pharmacy is here with the answers to all of your questions!


What Is Compounding?

Pharmacy compounding is all about personalized medication. Compounded medications are made by mixing individual ingredients together to create medication that is unique to each patient's specific needs. By avoiding all standardized doses, the doctor, pharmacist, and patient can work together to create personalized medication that can have the optimum desired effect.

Compounding allows us to customize the doses to each patient's unique needs, but the strength of compounding medication does not stop there. As the best compounding pharmacy at the Lake of the Ozarks, we are also able to put medication in a variety of different forms to meet each patient's preferences and lifestyle requirements. Tablets, creams, syringes, lollipops, and suppositories are a few of the ways we can present your medication. On top of that, you can also say goodbye to nasty-tasting medication by choosing from any of our delicious flavors!

Compounding In Action!

So what does all of this mean for you and your health? Sometimes the standardized doses and delivery methods just don't match your lifestyle needs, and patients who have switched to compounded medications have seen incredible improvements in their health and overall quality of life. These real-life examples offer some great insights into the amazing benefits of personalized medication.

Tetracaine Popsicles
A local doctor referred a young girl to us who was suffering from an infection and a sore throat and refused to eat or drink anything. She had gotten so dehydrated that her parents were afraid they were going to have to have her admitted to the hospital and hooked up to IVs. We were able to compound the necessary medication into a tetracaine popsicle that the little girl could enjoy. Once she got the medicine she needed, she started eating and drinking again and was able to successfully avoid a hospital visit and invasive IVs.

Topical Pain Gels
We have one customer who was suffering from so much pain at work that he felt he was going to have to stop working, and the thought of not being able to support his family depressed him. He was not able to take oral pain relievers because they made him drowsy, and his job required that he be alert at all times. His doctor prescribed one of our topical pain gels to him, which allowed him to work without pain and without drowsiness. He tells everyone about us now!

Progesterone Vaginal Suppositories
After three miscarriages, a pregnant woman came to us for help. We contacted her OB/GYN for progesterone vaginal suppositories and supplied her with the necessary medication. She carried her baby for nine months and now has a healthy, happy baby girl.

These examples are great, and they barely scratch the surface of all the ways we have been able to help our customers lead happier, healthier lives. We are so honored to be able to have such a positive impact on our patients lives!
