Dermatology Compounding
Managing dermatologic conditions often requires an individualized approach. When
commercially available products do not meet a patient’s specific needs, compounded medications can provide prescribers with additional flexibility. Our pharmacists collaborate with healthcare providers to prepare customized strengths, dosage forms, and formulations based on each patient’s prescribed dermatologic treatment plan.
Common Ingredients
Acne & Rosacea
Skin Rejuvenation
Androgenic Alopecia & Hair Loss
Fungal Infections & Warts
Inflammatory & Pruritic Dermatoses
Hyperpigmentation
Dosage Forms
Compounded dermatological medications can be prepared in a variety of dosage forms to
support individualized treatment needs. The appropriate dosage form is selected based on the medication, intended site of action, patient-specific considerations, and prescriber preference. Available options include:
Cream
Smooth formulation that glides easily and absorbs cleanly into the skin
Gel
Lightweight, quick-drying formula leaving minimal surface residue
Topical Solution
Liquid preparation designed for effortless, broad skin coverage

- Stability and compatibility of ingredients
- Patient comfort and adherence
