Areas of Specialty Compounding
Dermatology
The skin is the largest organ of the body and protects us from
microbes and harmful elements within our environment. All the
more reason to take extra care of our skin.
Pain Management
Chronic or acute pain can greatly interfere with a patient’s
quality of life. Compounding has allowed health care professionals to prescribe topical formulations modified to treat specific types of pain directly at the site.

Feet are the foundation of your body. Even more reason to take
good care of them. Using the right combination of ingredients can help treat and remove stubborn warts, fungal infections and foot pain.

preservative free medications are just a few examples of how
compounding can help medication compliance for children.

your animal to get the highest-quality veterinary care possible. Compounding can create different flavoured liquids, treats or other dosage forms with the right amount of medication for your pets size and condition.
