As the need to adjust to medication-based allergies and unique dosages has grown more important. Even the simple convenience of flavoring your children’s medication makes life simpler for both the parent and child . . . so why are so many pharmacies remaining distributors of medications rather than creators?

Compounding medication has changed remarkably due to improvements in technology. Specific advancements allow medications to be created that are otherwise too strong for children. Adjustments can be made for people who absorb medications too quickly or too slowly. Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy is now possible (and available here at Pleasant Hills Pharmacy).

Another great advantage of compounding is that it allows patients to obtain medications that weren’t popular enough to be continued by the major drug manufacturers. And for people (and animals) who can’t swallow pills? We can create the medication as a liquid or a transdermal gel instead.
