"Compounded" medications can solve this problem. Compounding refers to the creation of medications using raw chemicals and ingredients that are customized to meet the specific needs of each patient; most commonly made with all natural ingredients, or reformulated into alternative dosage forms (for example, a cream, ointment, or liquid instead of a capsule or tablet). Examples Include: Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)Compounding offers a natural alternative to controversial Hormone Replacement medications. Pain ManagementSpecially compounded medications are available as creams, ointments, and gels to treat certain arthritic conditions, diabetic neuropathies, and other painful conditions.
