About The Lime In The Coconut

Lime in the Coconut Specialty Compounding Pharmacy has been providing customized medication to patients in the Lake Area and the surrounding region for the past ten years. We specialize in:
  • Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
  • Topical Pain Creams
  • Veterinary Compounding
  • Weight Loss

Outside of these primary categories, we offer a wide variety of other services as well. We can compound prescriptions to assist with diaper rash, poison ivy, fungal infections, UTIs, and countless other health conditions.

Compounding fits the medication to the patient - not the other way around. Each prescription is formulated specifically to meet the needs of its intended patient. Depending on the patients' needs, we can use a wide variety of dosage forms and flavors to make the medication more palatable. This type of flexibility is especially helpful when making medication for children, pets, people who have trouble swallowing pills, or anyone else with specific needs/preferences.

Additional Services

In addition to providing superior compounded medication at the Lake of the Ozarks, we offer a variety of services and products designed to help our clients lead healthy, happy lives. For example, we offer...
  • Herbal Supplements
  • Probiotics
  • Herbal Remedies

The Lime: Serving Mid-Missouri For 9 Years!

March is always a big month for the Lime in the Coconut Specialty Compounding Pharmacy! March is our anniversary month, and this time we are celebrating nine years serving the Lake Area and beyond. We are proud to provide medical compounds in Missouri as well as several other services to help our clients boost their overall wellness. Thanks for helping us to become one of the best pharmacies at the Lake of the Ozarks!


Bio-Identical Hormones
A large portion of our practice is dedicated to mixing bio-identical hormones, hormones that are chemically and molecularly identical to the hormones produced naturally in the body. As a result, bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) does not have any side-effects as long as your prescription is correct! Through our unique use of BHRT, we have been able to help men and women ease their transitions through menopause and andropause, respectively.

Topical Pain Creams
Due to its relentless and debilitating nature, more people seek medical help for pain than any other symptom. Unlike oral pain relievers (which have to travel through the digestive system and the bloodstream), our topical pain creams target the problem areas directly. This allows for fewer side-effects and better results. We have been able to ease pain resulting from a wide variety of causes, such as sports injuries, nerve pain, muscle pain, arthritis, and more.

Veterinary Compounding
Ask any animal lover, and they'll tell you that their pets are integral members of their families. Just as you would be willing to do anything to keep your children healthy, most cat and dog owners alike are always looking for ways to improve the lives of their beloved furry family members. Avid animal lovers ourselves, we are proud to offer customized medication to each pet. We can even flavor your pet's medication so you can avoid the struggle of convincing your pet to take medication they don't like. 

Wellness IVs
Oral medication must travel through the digestive system before it can be delivered to the appropriate areas, resulting in diluted amounts of the medication actually reaching the areas in need and the potential for increased side-effects. Our wellness IVs are administered directly into the bloodstream, helping to replenish the fluids your body may be lacking and delivering more nutrients to the muscles and tissues. Our IV menu offers a variety of different treatments, ranging from anti-aging to immunity boosting to weight loss (and more).

Rx Skin Therapy
Nothing makes you look healthier than radiant, glowing skin. We are proud to offer Rx Skin Therapy products, an elite line of pharmaceutical grade skincare products that are available without a prescription. Rx Skin Therapy products are uniquely designed for every skin type, including dry, normal, and oily. They also offer specialty products for anti-aging and blemishes. Stop by our pharmacy in Lake Ozark MO to pick up your items today.

Massage Therapy
Massage is an ancient healing art with roots in some of the earliest civilizations, including the Greeks, Egyptians, Mayans, and Chinese. Treatment by a skilled and knowledgeable massage therapist has been shown to offer incredibly beneficial and expansive benefits, including muscle relaxation, improved digestive health, better sleep, and everything in between.

CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on therapy that improves the functioning of the central nervous system (and, in turn, the rest of the body) by relieving tensions. CranioSacral Therapy has been shown to have profound health benefits as well, helping to treat physical issues, such as migraines and complications from birth/birthing, and emotional issues, such as PTSD, anxiety, and depression. 

Thanks For Making Us Your Trusted Pharmaceutical Resource At The Lake!
We are truly honored to be part of such a great community and we are endlessly grateful to all of our clients and their immense support. It is because of YOU that we have been able to serve our community for the past nine years, and we genuinely look forward to many more years!

Dental Compounding For Your Pearly Whites

We have talked a lot about how compounded medication can help relieve allergies, alleviate pain, and help reduce the symptoms associated with our bodies' natural aging processes, but the wonders of compounding don't stop there! This week, the team at The Lime in the Coconut is here to delve into another incredibly valuable service we offer: dental compounding at the Lake of the Ozarks.


Why Do Dentists Use Compounded Medication?

Dentists are medical professionals, just like doctors, and they require several different medications to ease the treatment of their patients. By working closely with our experienced compounding pharmacist in central Missouri, dentists can prescribe personalized medications to help patients with several different aspects of their oral health, including...
  • Dry Socket Treatments
  • Canker Sores
  • Gum Disease
  • Bad Breath
  • Pain Relief
  • Anxiety (fear of the dentist)
  • Teeth Whitening
  • And More

What Types Of Medication Do Dentists Require?

When most of us think of the dentist's office, we think of cleanings, routine cavity checks, and the occasional filling. However, dentists actually provide several different types of oral care to their patients, and these varied forms of care can require several different types of medication. As a few examples, we work with local dentists to provide...
  • Antibiotics
  • Adhesives
  • Topical Anesthetics
  • Sedatives
  • Plaque Removal Solutions
  • Mouth Washes
  • Analgesics
  • Bleaching Gels
  • Dry Socket Mixtures

How Do Dentists Deliver Medication To Their Patients?

Every patient is unique, and most people respond to different types of medication in different ways. We work diligently to help local dentists deliver the customized treatment each patient needs. If a patient suffers from nausea or having difficulty swallowing a pill, for example, we can make a topical gel or cream to allow the medication to absorb into the skin. If another patient is suffering from needle anxiety, we can create a topical anesthetic to allow for painless injections. Examples of the different dosage forms we can create include...
  • Rapidly Dissolving Tablets
  • Freezer Pops
  • Gels (Oral or Topical)
  • Capsules
  • Troches / Sublinguals
  • Mouth Rinses
  • Lipstick & Lip Balms
  • Lollipops
  • Mouth Washes
  • Oral & Topical Sprays
Don't forget that we can also add several different flavors to your dental medication, so you won't have to deal with any nasty flavors. Children and adults alike love having the option to flavor their medication!

The Lime Would Love To Assist With Your Dental Compounding Needs

The Lime in the Coconut Specialty Compounding Pharmacy has been working with dental compounding for eight and a half years, ever since Sharon first founded our pharmacy in 2007. If you find yourself in need of dental medication in the near future, we hope you will keep us in mind as your trusted resource. If you have any questions about dental compounding medication, don't hesitate to give us a call!
