GASTROENTEROLOGY
Compounded medications and medical foods extend the treatment options for numerous diseases and disorders of the digestive tract. Here are just a few examples:
Acid Reflux (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease)
Suspensions can be dosed and flavored for infants, children and adults using Omeprazole.
Anal Fissures
Topical ointment containing Nifedipine or Diltiazem for healing, and Lidocaine as an anesthetic.
Hemorrhoids
A specially designed suppository called a “rectal rocket” offers a unique dosage form that simultaneously treats internal and external tissue. This is particularly effective in treating chronic or post-natal hemorrhoids.
Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EOE)
Oral viscous suspensions or slurries made from Budesonide not only help inflammation but may also help promote healing.
Nausea and Vomiting
A transdermal gel that gets rubbed onto the wrist can be compounded using ondanestron or prochlorperazine for fast and effective relief.
Pre/Probiotics
Our pharmacists can recommend appropriate probiotic therapy to help support your microbiome.
