Each of us are unique, and oftentimes, our unique needs require personalized treatments. Lakeview’s compounding pharmacy provides customized medications for patients who require treatment options beyond traditional medications. Please continue reading to learn the benefits and solutions that Lakeview’s compounding pharmacy can provide.

1. Personalized Dosages

Most medications are mass produced in a couple dosing strengths that are set by the manufacturer (100mg, 200mg, etc.). Because we are all unique, there may be times when your optimal treatment will be achieved with a dosing strength that isn’t available. Our compounding pharmacy uses the active ingredients to formulate our medications which gives us full control over the final strength that is created.

2. Access to More Medications

One of the largest benefits a compounding pharmacy provides is the expanded access to medications that have been discontinued or are out of stock. When a manufacturer discontinues a medication, most often we can still purchase the active ingredient(s) to formulate your necessary therapy. This holds true for many medications that experience supply-chain disruptions. Please call us today at 262.632.0520 if you face these challenges with your current pharmacy.

3. Convenience

If you have been prescribed more than one medication, it can be inconvenient or challenging to keep up with your medication regimen. Trying to remember to take all your medications or keeping track of various pill bottles can be a hassle. To ease this burden, a compounding pharmacy may be able to combine more than one medications into a single compounded capsule. This means you can take one or only a few pills instead of a handful each day.

4. Unique Treatments

Do you have a health condition that requires a unique treatment? Does a loved one struggle swallowing pills and capsules? We can help! Our compounding pharmacy can formulate the same active ingredients prescribed by your doctor into medications that are easier to take. We can provide the same therapy as a topical cream or ointment, an oral solution or sublingual drop, as a lozenge or troche, a patch or even a suppository. These treatments are available for a number of conditions including those related to dermatology, podiatry, dentistry, chronic pain management, gastroenterology, veterinary care, and more.

5. No More Allergic Reactions

If you are allergic or sensitive to any of the inactive ingredients commonly found in commercial medications including dyes, gluten, sugars, alcohol and preservatives, compounding is the solution you need. Our oral formulations use a limited amount of inactive ingredients to help ease digestive strain, while our topical formulations are a perfect solution to avoid the digestive tract completely.
