What Is Compounding Pharmacy in Cumming, GA?
Pain Management Compounding
For ongoing pain, we can prepare topical creams and gels that put the medication where it hurts, or capsules that combine more than one ingredient. Many Cumming patients use topicals to cut down on side effects from pills. Read more about pain management compounding.
Hormone Replacement Therapy
We prepare bioidentical hormone therapy for women and men based on the dose your provider prescribes, in creams, capsules, troches and other forms. Learn more on our hormone replacement therapy page.
Dermatology Compounding
Working from your dermatologist’s prescription, we can combine active ingredients for acne, rosacea, eczema or psoriasis in a cream, gel or ointment base that suits your skin.
Veterinary Compounding
Pets in Cumming are no easier to medicate than anywhere else. We can flavor a dose, change it to a liquid or treat, and adjust the strength to your animal’s weight based on your veterinarian’s prescription.
Psychiatric Compounding
For anxiety, depression and other mental health needs, we can adjust a dose in small steps or leave out a dye or filler that your provider wants you to avoid.
Medical Weight Loss
When your provider prescribes a medical weight loss plan, we prepare the formulas on the prescription, including peptide therapy, and keep the dosing exactly as written.
Thyroid Support Compounding
Thyroid patients often need a strength that is not made commercially. We compound T3, T4 and combined formulas to the exact dose, and can make them without common allergens.
How We Fill Your Prescription
Your Provider Sends the Prescription
Your doctor, nurse practitioner or veterinarian sends the prescription to us. Providers can find what they need on our information for providers page. A pharmacist reads it over and contacts the office if anything needs to be clarified.
We Work Out the Formula With Your Provider
If there is a choice to make about strength, base or dosage form, our pharmacist talks it through with your provider so the final medication matches the treatment plan.
Measuring and Mixing in Our Lab
Each ingredient is weighed and mixed by hand in our Holly Springs lab, following written steps for that formula so every refill comes out the same.
Pharmacist Check Before It Leaves
Before anything goes out, a pharmacist checks the finished medication against the original prescription for the right ingredients, strength and label.
Free Delivery to Your Cumming Home or Pickup
We deliver free to your home in Cumming, or you can pick up at our pharmacy if you are already in the Canton area. When you need more, use our refill request page.
Who Uses a Compounding Pharmacy in Forsyth County?
