Dermatology

Topical preparations for skin conditions, prepared when the commercial product is the wrong strength, the wrong base, or contains something the patient reacts to.

What we prepare

  • Acne and rosacea preparations at prescribed strengths
  • Preparations for eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis
  • Scar and keloid preparations
  • Topical and oral hair loss preparations
  • Wound care preparations
  • Preparations in a base free of a dye, preservative or fragrance a patient reacts to

Everything on this page is prepared to a prescriber’s order for one named patient. We cannot prepare or supply any of it without a valid prescription.

Why skin preparations get compounded

Two patients can need the same drug at different strengths, or in a different base entirely. A cream, an ointment, a gel and a solution behave differently on different skin — and on different parts of the body.

Compounding also lets a prescriber combine actives that are only sold separately, or leave out a preservative or fragrance that your skin reacts to. If a previous cream stung, bleached fabric or simply never absorbed, that is worth telling your prescriber.

How a compounded prescription works here

  • Your prescriber decides. They specify the drug, the strength, the base and the form. We do not choose your treatment and we cannot start one.
  • We confirm with you — what it will cost, how long it takes, and anything you need to know about storage or use.
  • We compound it at our Brandon facility and send it to whichever of our pharmacies you use.
  • You collect it, or we deliver free.

A valid prescription is required, and we dispense to patients in Florida only. Compounded preparations are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and the FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness or quality. The preparations named on this page describe what we can make — they are not claims that any of them is proven to treat a condition, and nothing here is a recommendation to use a particular medicine.
