Compounding

Do you have pain? We can help.

Here at Chambers’ Apothecary, we have designed a program to work with you and your doctor to manage your pain. There are many topical compound preparations and options that we can use to target your specific needs. We can schedule a time to have a one-on-one consultation with you to discuss what’s going on and how we can help. By compounding your treatment, we can customize the ingredient list to best suit your individual needs. Also, we can show you the most effective places to apply the cream so you use less, save money, and most importantly get the best relief possible.

There are four major areas where a patient should apply our topical creams. These areas are the dermatomes, trigger points, location of injury and location of pain. To help the patient find these locations we provide print outs and other great resources to help locate the origin of pain. Compounded treatment options, also known as custom medications, allow us to make each compound specifically for the individual patient’s needs. If we don’t achieve the desired results, we can always adjust or change the compound based on the results of prior treatment options.

Veterinary (Pet) Compounding

We are proud to be your home for veterinary compounding excellence.

We are experts in creating custom medications for animals as well as humans. We are trained in animal pharmacology and create custom formulations to solve common problems in giving medication to our animal patients. Compliance to medication regimens can be even tougher with animals that do not like to take traditional capsules or tablets. We compound custom medications specified by your veterinarian using the highest quality chemicals, devices, and processes.

Here are a few examples of what we can do to help make medication administration easier for both the caregiver and their furry friends:

• Custom flavoring for both tablets and liquids (ex: chicken, beef, or tuna)
• Mixing medication into treat formulation using the pet’s favorite treat (ex: ginger snaps)
• Reformulating medication into a topical delivery that can be used to apply to the pet’s ear
• Compounding custom lavage or enema suspensions to help animals with bowel issues
• Creating smaller tablets that are easier to swallow

Feel free to discuss those “problem pets” that give you problems with medication with us. We can help by working with your veterinarian to come up with a custom solution to make medication administration easier on everyone. Also, we have different shipping options to get medication to you quickly and efficiently. Give us a call today and see what we can do you for you and your animals!

Hospice

The final stages of terminal illness are difficult for the patient and loved ones caring for them. The goal of hospice services is to provide the patient with care and to minimize stress and discomfort. Compounding plays a major role in being able to relieve and manage symptoms with pharmaceutical drugs customized to each patient’s needs.

Some of the most common needs are:

• Pain
• Nausea/vomiting
• Constipation
• Diarrhea
• Bedsores
• Anxiety

Pediatrics

Do you or someone you know have a child that hates taking their medications? At Chambers’ Apothecary we are proud to be able to help children take their medications. We understand that not all children are the same and need medication specifically tailored to them. We can compound medications into different dosing forms to enhance the appearance, shape, texture, and flavor. Also, we can compound medication for patients who have allergies or intolerances.

Autistic children often have trouble taking medication due to the dosage form of the prescription. At Chambers’ Apothecary we can compound medication into a dosage form that the patient is familiar with, whether it be a lollipop, gummy, suppository, cream, gel, ointment, or oral liquid. By combining these familiar dosage forms with hundreds of different flavor combinations, we can make taking medications enjoyable for your child.

Bio-Identical Hormones

Female

Whether you are having minor or severe symptoms, you can improve your quality of life with Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT). BHRT can help relieve the following symptoms:

• Sleep
• Hot flashes
• Depression
• Vaginal dryness
• Libido
• Weight gain
• Vaginal bleeding
• Osteoporosis

We can work together with your doctor to create a natural approach to restoring your hormone levels to a normal range. Traditional therapy normally consists of a combination of hormones tailored to your personal needs. Some of the most commonly prescribed hormones used in BHRT are progesterone, estradiol, estriol and testosterone. Ask your doctor if BHRT would be a good option for you.

Male

As male hormone levels decrease, the body show signs of aging and starts to feel older. On average in men, testosterone levels naturally decrease by 1% each year after the age of 30.

Some common symptoms of low testosterone are:

• Loss of energy
• Erectile dysfunction
• Reduced libido
• Fatigue
• Osteoporosis
• Depression
• Aches and pains

As aging men strive for optimal health and wellness, maintaining normal testosterone levels is crucial. Improve your health by letting Chambers’ Apothecary help you and your doctor formulate your medication to your precise needs instead of commercially available alternatives.
