Compounded Medication Areas
| Therapy Area | Why Compounding Is Needed | Common Pathways |
|---|---|---|
| Dermatology and Trichology | Skin and hair conditions require formulations matched to individual skin types, sensitivities, and absorption profiles. Commercial creams rarely offer the right concentration or base for every patient. | Community pharmacy (Brands and Essentials) |
| Pediatrics | Children frequently cannot swallow tablets or tolerate standard dosage strengths. Liquid formulations, flavored suspensions, and precise low-dose preparations are essential. | Community pharmacy (Brands and Essentials) |
| Gynaecology | Hormone replacement treatments are often tailored to each patient based on individual hormonal profiles, and bioidentical formulations are not widely available commercially. | Community pharmacy; Genomics-led prescribing |
| Primary and Acute Care | Pain management, infusion therapies, and chronic disease treatments regularly require individualized dosage strengths or sterile preparations that do not exist as off-the-shelf products. | Hospital / sterile compounding (Compounding Services) |
| Functional Medicine and Preventive Care | Hormone optimization, supplementation, and preventive treatments are inherently individual. Pharmacogenomic profiling increasingly guides formulation choices. | Genomics-led prescribing; Community pharmacy |
