Podiatry
Compound Care Pharmacy can offer treatment options reflecting the patients need to maximize mobility. Many times painful foot conditions such as diabetic neuropathies, gout, heel pain, burning feet, rheumatoid arthritis, and plantar fasciitis cannot be treated adequately with commercially available products. Because these conditions can be so difficult to treat, our pharmacy is called upon by many Podiatrists to formulate customized medications to satisfy specific needs of individual patient’s.
In addition, other difficult to treat conditions often respond well to customized compounded solutions; such as fungal infections, warts, nail removal, cracked heels and wounds. Compound Care Pharmacy produces customized medications conforming to the doctor’s exact specifications.
