4 Signs You May Be A Good Candidate For Compounded Medication

Are you tired of working around standardized medication that may or may not meet your specific needs? The Lime in the Coconut Specialty Compounding Pharmacy is here to provide you with a (potentially much-needed) alternative: compounding! Here are a few ways you can tell if you might be a good candidate for compounded medication.


4 Signs You Could Benefit From Compounded Medication:

1. You Are Suffering From Side Effects
One of the biggest drawbacks of taking standardized medication is that it is made it massive batches, with little to no consideration for the individual patients who will take it. Consequently, the dosages typically do not meet the patients' exact needs, which can result in side effects. Compounded medication will be made to your prescription's unique specifications, helping reduce (or possibly eliminate altogether) side effects.

2. Your Medication Is On Backorder
Sometimes standardized medication goes on backorder or can even be discontinued - sometimes without any advance notice. When this happens, our compounding pharmacy at the Lake of the Ozarks can potentially help the hundreds (and potentially thousands) of individuals who were relying on this medication. Since we custom-make each prescription for each patient, we don't have to worry about certain prescriptions going on backorder.

3. You Are Experiencing An Allergic Reaction To Your Medication
Your medication is supposed to make your life easier and improve your health, but unfortunately it doesn't always work that way - especially if you have an allergic reaction to a certain ingredient within your prescription. If you are experiencing an allergic reaction or know you are allergic to certain chemicals, our pharmacy in Lake Ozark MO may be able to use a different formula that avoids the problematic ingredients.

4. You Are Having Trouble Taking Your Medication As Is
Unfortunately, taking your medication is sometimes easier said than done. Some standardized medication is only available in large pills that may be difficult to swallow. Other medication tastes so terrible that it is difficult to stomach. No matter what the challenge with your specific medication is, we may be able to help you overcome it by customizing your dosage form to meet your specific needs. We can flavor our compounds to make them more palatable, or we may be able to change the dosage form entirely. Troches, lozenges, transdermal creams and gels, suppositories, and nasal sprays are just a few of the dosage forms we offer.
