Dermatology Compounding
Skin concerns can be frustrating, especially when commercially available medications don’t come in the right strength, cause irritation, or don’t match what your provider is trying to prescribe.
Dermatology compounding allows healthcare providers to prescribe topical medications that are customized to a patient’s specific needs.
At Innovative Rx Pharmacy, we prepare compounded dermatology prescriptions based on provider instructions and individualized patient requirements.
