Hormone Replacement

Anyone who has been through puberty knows that hormones have a powerful effect on one’s body. Hormones affect many areas of your health, including your mood, metabolism, and sexual and reproductive function.

Working closely with our patient and his or hers healthcare provider, we can help our patient start and maintain a hormone replacement regimen that brings their hormones back into balance and closely mimics what their body has been doing naturally for years.

Pain Management

Acute pain easily can evolve into chronic pain, which can become difficult to treat. Many commonly prescribed, commercially available pain relief medications help the symptoms associated with chronic conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, migraine headaches, and other nerve and muscle pain, but they can also result in unwanted side effects. Many patients taking these medications come to accept these conditions as part of daily life, but they may find a better solution through personalized pain compounding.

Dermatology

Our compounding pharmacists can improve both the aesthetic and therapeutic characteristics of individually customized medications, providing alternatives and unique advantages for the dermatology industry. We precisely compound medications into cosmetically appealing topical creams, sprays, and powders, and also create customized oral dosage medications.

Dental

Trips to the dentist do not have to include unnecessary anxiety or discomfort. One of the best tools to fight these fears is pharmacy compounding. Due to its variety of patients, dentistry is an ideal arena for compounded medications. From an eight-year-old getting a cavity filled to an 80-year-old getting fitted for dentures, each patient is unique and may benefit from custom-compounded medication.

Bandy’s Pharmacy specializes in customized compounding for your medication needs. Compounding combines the traditional art of preparing medications from natural ingredients with modern technology to prepare creams, capsules, suppositories, liquids, transdermals and other dosage forms. Our experienced pharmacists are able to work with you and your physician to create a “solution” for you and your medication problems. We invite you to call or visit us to inquire about compounding for both your family and your pets. Let us create a dosage form that is “just what the doctor ordered”.

Pediatrics

It’s no secret that most kids don’t like taking medicine. There’s nothing fun about being sick, and taking medicine just seems to make it worse. But it doesn’t have to be that way. One of the best ways to make med time less stressful, involves pediatric compounding. From flavoring medications so they taste better to providing individualized strengths and dosage forms, a compounding pharmacist can help make medication time easier and less stressful for your child – and you!

Veterinary

If you are like most pet owners you hate seeing your pet sick, however, you may hate the headache of getting them to take their medication even more. However, some mass produced medications are simply not fit for your pet. Most commercially available medications are formulated based on averages that may not represent your pet. Just like people, your pet may be particular with the form of medication they are willing to take. Talk with us today about pet compounding and we can turn medication time into a treat.
