SRx Compounding & Wellness Pharmacy SRx Compounding & Wellness Pharmacy’s main objective is to work closely with physicians and provide medications for each patient’s needs.

Specializing in custom compounded medications, veterinary medications, nutritional consultations, and more, our main objective is to work closely with physicians and provide medications for each patient’s needs. If a patient has a tolerance problem with certain conventional medications, compounding alternatives are often the most successful solution. As a member of PCCA, (Professional Compounding Center of America), we have 24/7 access to their compounding library. Our affiliation enables us to alert physicians and patients to the most recent advances in the apothecary world and about any problems with the availability of conventional medications. Customized compounding offers the benefit of meeting an individual’s specific needs. Formulated medications are often prescribed for Bio-identical Hormonal Therapy, (BHRT), because they have the same chemical structure and function as naturally occurring hormones. At SRx, we can prepare customized prescriptions for a product that is discontinued and has worked well for a patient in the past. We are also able to tailor the strength, dosage form, and flavor of many prescribed formulated medications. In addition to providing formulated medications for internal medicine, pediatrics, and BHRT, we work closely with you and your doctor to provide compounding solutions for many of these health care issues.

No fleas, but your dog is still itching? 🐶

Excessive scratching, licking or chewing can have many possible causes, including:
• Seasonal or food allergies
• Dry skin or contact irritation
• Bacterial or yeast infections
• Ear infections
• Mites, insect bites or other parasites

And even if you don’t see fleas, one bite may be enough to trigger an allergic reaction in a sensitive dog.

If the itching persists or is accompanied by redness, hair loss, odor, sores or discharge, schedule a visit with your veterinarian. Identifying the underlying cause is the first step toward finding appropriate relief.

When medication is needed, our compounding pharmacy may be able to prepare a customized dosage form that is easier to give or apply.

Weight management is rarely one-size-fits-all. Metabolism, hormones, health history and medication tolerability can vary significantly from one patient to another.

If you are working toward weight-management goals, your healthcare provider can help you evaluate what options may be appropriate based on your individual needs and health history. Our team is available to answer questions and support provider-directed care when appropriate.

New research is adding to the conversation about menopause, hormone therapy and heart health.

In a recent observational study of 2,737 women experiencing hot flashes or night sweats, starting menopausal hormone therapy was associated with an estimated 22% lower risk of cardiovascular events. The potential benefit was more pronounced among women who began therapy within 10 years of menopause onset.

However, researchers emphasized that hormone therapy should not be used specifically to prevent cardiovascular disease. The decision should be based on each woman’s symptoms, health history, and individual risks.

Talk with your healthcare provider and our compounding pharmacist about whether menopausal hormone therapy may be appropriate for you.

Women facing breast cancer deserve care tailored to their individual needs. While we do not treat breast cancer, our compounding pharmacy may support patients by preparing medications that help address certain treatment-related challenges.

Examples may include:
- Customized oral rinses for mouth discomfort
- Liquid or alternative dosage forms for individuals who have difficulty swallowing
- Anti-nausea medications in an alternative dosage form when vomiting or difficulty swallowing makes tablets hard to take
- Topical preparations prescribed for localized nerve pain or sensitivity
- Preparations for treatment-related skin irritation

Ask your healthcare provider whether a patient-specific compounded medication could help meet your supportive-care needs.

Having trouble finding your usual estradiol patch?

The FDA has acknowledged access challenges related to increased demand, and availability may vary by product, pharmacy, and location. While estradiol patches are still available, inconsistent supply can create frustrating delays for women who rely on hormone therapy.

If you are affected by the estradiol patch shortage, a patient-specific compounded estradiol cream may be another option. Our pharmacists can work with you and your provider to explore an appropriate compounded alternative based on your individual needs.

Brown or gray-brown patches across the cheeks, forehead, nose or upper lip may be a sign of melasma, a common form of skin discoloration.

While melasma doesn’t have one clear cause, several factors may contribute, including:
- Sun and UV exposure
- Certain medications
- Family history
- Hormonal changes

Because several factors can affect skin pigmentation, a dermatologist or other qualified healthcare provider can evaluate your discoloration and help determine appropriate next steps. Talk to our pharmacist about topical options and their potential role in addressing pigmentation.

Giving medication to a child isn’t always easy, especially when pills are difficult to swallow or liquid medications have an unpleasant taste.

Pediatric compounding can help by creating customized medications in strengths, flavors, and dosage forms designed around a child’s individual needs.

Depending on the prescription, compounding may allow for options such as:
• Flavored liquid suspensions
• Smoother textures for children with sensory sensitivities
• Customized strengths based on age or weight
• Alternative dosage forms when standard pills aren’t a good fit
• Formulations that take certain allergies or ingredient sensitivities into consideration

Our compounding pharmacists work closely with pediatric providers to help make medications easier for children to take and less stressful for families.

Mental health care isn’t always one-size-fits-all.

For some people living with depression, symptoms such as persistent low mood, fatigue, brain fog, or low motivation may continue even after trying standard treatment approaches. In these situations, a healthcare provider may explore more individualized options.

Compounding can support personalized care by allowing pharmacists to prepare patient-specific strengths and alternative dosage forms based on a provider’s prescription and an individual patient’s needs.

Our compounding pharmacists work alongside patients and healthcare providers to help support customized treatment plans and answer questions along the way.

Whether you’re a competitive athlete, weekend warrior, or simply working to stay active, injuries and pain can make it difficult to keep moving.

Sports medicine compounding can provide customized prescription options based on factors such as the type of injury, age, activity level, allergies, sensitivities, and individual treatment needs. Compounded preparations may also offer alternative dosage forms, including topical or transdermal options that can be applied directly to the affected area.

Customized therapies may be considered for concerns such as:
• Joint pain and inflammation
• Muscle soreness and strains
• Tendon injuries
• Soft tissue discomfort
• Recovery following an injury or procedure

When a standard medication isn’t the right fit, compounding gives healthcare providers another way to individualize treatment.

Talk with our compounding pharmacist to learn more about customized options for sports medicine and recovery.
