Traditional oral medications are digested, then flow throughout the body via the bloodstream. This means they can alter other body systems and/or inhibit the effectiveness of other treatments.
Our topical creams breech the derma to reach receptors below the skin, but have very limited access to the bloodstream. Because of this, any side effects are generally limited to the application area.
A patient may be allergic to or intolerant of an ingredient commonly found in the commercially manufactured form of a medication. Suitable replacements, free of dyes, starch, yeast, sugar, and preservatives are easily formulated.
Hundreds of medicines are voluntarily withdrawn from the market each year. Pharmaceutical companies stop supplying them because of low demand, increase in the cost of production, or lack of resources. A compounded replacement may be possible.
Pharmaceutical compounding is the process of creating customized medications for patients by mixing individual ingredients, at specified doses and strengths, for the desired effects. Innovations in component isolation and advancements in technology have streamlined the entire process. Because each batch is made exclusively for each patient, ingredients, flavoring, and/or method of use, can be substituted. More and more doctors rely on personalized medicine to treat their patients because compounding allows the creation of optimal unique medicines that meet specific care needs while eliminating conventional challenges. Executive Pharmacy is one of the few pharmacies accredited by PCAB/ACHC (Accreditation Commission for Health Care).
