Compounding
Compounding is the process of creating “custom” prescriptions. This is very beneficial for some conditions that are best treated with medications that are not available in standard formulations. A compound prescription allows you to get the most effective treatment, delivered in the most appropriate and convenient dosage form. Some examples of when compounded prescriptions are useful include:
BioIdentical Hormone Replacement (BHRT)
Bioidentical hormones are defined as hormones identical in structure to human hormones. BHRT can be compounded into various dosage forms for a variety of medications. This includes, but is not limited to, progesterone and testosterone.
Pain
Pain is the most common symptom for which people seek medical help. A compounded pain medication can reduce or eliminate unwanted side effects and also result in taking less overall medications.
Veterinary
Pets are members of the family, and you want them to have medical treatment that’s as attentive and innovative as you expect for yourself. Our pharmacists can work closely with your vet to prepare medicines in easy-to-give, flavored dosage forms that pets of all kinds will happily devour.
Vaccination
Vaccines are responsible for preventing many infectious diseases. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), vaccines prevent more than two million deaths per year around the world. Our pharmacists are trained to administer vaccines in-store using a designated vaccine room that is isolated from the rest of the store. We routinely administer the following vaccines:
Shingles Vaccines
Season Flu Vaccines
Pneumococcal vaccines
HPV Vaccine
Tetanus Vaccine
Tdap Vaccine (tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis)
Travel Vaccines
Please contact us if you have questions about these or any other vaccines.
