Why Compounding Options are Important

Why Compounding is Important

• Compounds offer a variety of clinical options with unique innovative bases and dosage forms

• Skyrocketing commercial drug prices!– Insurance rejections with  many commercial drugs

– Unaffordable copays

Dermatology ‐Warts• Testimonial from the Apothagram:

– PCCA Formula #5615 (Cimetidine 10% / Deoxy‐ D‐Glucose 0.29% / Ibuprofen 2% Topical Lipoderm®). “We have many patients with warts come to us with a prescription for this formula,” she says. “Oftentimes, they are skeptical because they have had the wart for a long period of time, and so far, no other treatment has worked.”

– “I love that it is not harmful to the healthy skin surrounding the affected area,” she says. “We have never had a patient come back to us saying that this formulation hasn’t worked!”

Dermatology ‐Molluscum• “My daughter presented molluscum on her entire neck when she was seven 

years old. In addition to being really itchy and often painful, she was embarrassed with how it looked in such a visible area. We took her to the pediatrician who said that it could take 8‐18 months to completely heal. 

• “After using the compounded preparation, my daughter’s lesions cleared within four weeks. My little patient called it ‘Annie’s Miracle Cream’ since PCCA Pharmacy Consultant Annie DeReese, PharmD, developed the formula, PCCA Formula #11684 (Cimetidine 10% / Tea Tree Oil 2% / EGCg 1% / Deoxy‐D‐Glucose 0.2% Topical Anhydrous Lipoderm®), that helped get those bumps off of her! Another example of compounding to the rescue.”
