Compounded pain medications can help relieve a variety of issues including:
* Fibromyalgia
* Headaches/Migraines
* Pelvic Pain
* Arthritis
* Nerve Pain
* And many more.

Pain Management
Palliative care patients can often find the commercially available medication forms difficult or impractical to use. For example, tablets may become difficult to swallow and may need to be prepared as a liquid. At Kerrie Road Pharmacy our compounding pharmacists can work with your GP to compound alternative medication forms that are easy to take and in the correct dose.
Palliative Care Compounding Services
There are many therapies available which can assist in regulating your sleep. Sleep disturbances can be caused by many different factors including anxiety, depression or not being able to turn off. Speak with your doctor to see how/if a compounded medicine can assist with your sleep.
Sleep Disturbances
Topical preparations allow medications to be absorbed directly via the skin. This method of absorbtion is particularly of benefit where normal oral medications can cause stomach upset or drowsiness. Some of the most common issues that are treated with topical preparations include: skin problems, anti-ageing treatments, pain management, inflammation and nausea.
Topical preparations can be compounded into many different forms which include:
* Creams and Lotions
* Gels
* Sprays
* Foams
* Stick Applicators
* Suppositories
Topical Preparations
The practice of pharmacy compounding is becoming a popular solution to veterinary problems. Animals often have variations of the same diseases humans can have, including skin rashes, eye and ear infections, heart conditions, cancer and diabetes.
Medicating pets presents unique problems that often are best dealt with through compounding. The Vet working closely with a compounding pharmacist can improve the health and happiness of your pet. All medications for your pet require a prescription from your Vet before we can supply.
