Compounded Services

At TIB compounding pharmacy, where every prescription is a personal touch, we are dedicated to improving your quality of life through customized medication solutions. If you're experiencing issues with standard medications or have unique health needs, a compounded medication may be the right choice for you. Compounding pharmacies operate under regulations set by state and federal laws. The process is typically supervised by licensed pharmacists, and compounds are often made after careful consultations with physicians and patients to ensure safety and efficacy.

TIB COMPOUNDING PHARMACY: Tailored Treatments, Trusted Care

TIB COMPOUNDING PHARMACY is fully compliant with USP 795 and USP 800 standards for non-sterile compounding, ensuring the highest level of safety and quality in every prescription. We source all of our compounding ingredients exclusively from FDA-registered wholesalers and use USP/NF approved ingredients. This guarantees that you receive the most reliable and consistent compounded medications, tailored to your unique needs.

What is a Compounding Pharmacy?

A compounding pharmacy is a specialized space where pharmacists combine, mix, or alter ingredients to create customized medications tailored to meet the specific needs of individual patients. Unlike commercial medications, which come in a one-size-fits-all form, compounded medications are designed to address unique conditions and preferences.
At TIB compounding pharmacy, we work closely with your healthcare provider to prepare medications that are specifically suited to your health condition, allergies, or preferences, whether in the form of creams, gels, liquids, or capsules. Our pharmacy team ensures that each compound is made with the highest quality standards, providing a level of care and precision that meets the needs of each individual.

Why Would I Need Compounded Medications?

There are several reasons why compounded medications might be right for you. When conventional medications don't quite meet your needs, compounding offers a solution. Compounded medications can be especially helpful in these scenarios:

1. Allergies to Ingredients in Commercial Medications
If you have sensitivities to certain preservatives, dyes, or other ingredients commonly found in commercial medications, compounded prescriptions can provide you with tailored solutions that work for you.
2. Personalized Doses
Sometimes standard doses are too strong or too weak for your needs. TIB compounding pharmacy customizes doses to ensure the right amount for effective treatment, including non-commercial forms like topical creams or hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
3. Pediatric and Geriatric Care
For children or elderly patients who struggle with swallowing pills, compounded medications can be created in easier-to-consume formats, such as flavored liquids, dissolvable tablets, or topical treatments.
4. Enhanced Effectiveness
Some patients respond better to specific formulations, like topical creams instead of oral medications. At TIB compounding pharmacy, we collaborate with providers to ensure the best method of delivery for optimal results.

Examples of medications made by a compounding pharmacy include:

•
Multi-ingredient topical pain creams
•
Hormone creams, capsules, and suppositories that contain estradiol and progesterone
•
Rectal suppositories for hemorrhoids or anal fissures
•
Magic mouthwash
•
Omeprazole or lansoprazole liquid for kids
•
Diazepam, Lorazepam suppositories

Hospice Care:

TIB Pharmacy is a name synonymous with high-quality hospice pharmacy services in the Bay Area and Central Valley of California. With years of dedicated service to hospice clients, TIB Pharmacy has established a deep understanding of the unique needs and challenges faced by hospice care providers. In hospice care, compounding plays a critical role in managing symptoms, improving comfort, and enhancing the quality of life for patients in the final stages of a terminal illness. The compounding process allows pharmacists to prepare medications in specific dosages, forms, and combinations that are not commercially available. This is particularly important for hospice patients, as their conditions may require very precise medication adjustments. Custom compounding can include changes in dosage strength, flavoring to make medications easier to take, or providing medications in forms like suppositories, transdermal creams, or liquid doses that are more appropriate for a patient who has difficulty swallowing pills.

Erectile Dysfunction:

Men's health is unique, and so are the challenges that come with it—especially when it comes to sexual wellness and vitality. At our compounding pharmacy, we specialize in creating customized medications to address men's health concerns, including erectile dysfunction (ED). By working closely with your healthcare provider, we tailor medications to your specific needs, offering a range of strengths, forms, and innovative delivery methods for optimal results.

Anti Aging:

Compounding in the field of anti-aging medicine allows pharmacists to create customized solutions for individuals seeking to address the visible and physiological signs of aging. These compounded medications are specifically tailored to meet each patient’s unique needs, offering personalized combinations and strengths of active ingredients. For those who do not respond well to over-the-counter or commercially available anti-aging products, compounded formulas can provide a more effective alternative with fewer side effects and enhanced results.

Dental:

Compounding in dental medicine allows pharmacists to create customized medications for a wide range of oral health needs. These compounded formulations address issues such as tooth sensitivity, gum disease, oral infections, pain management, and mucosal healing. By tailoring the strength, combination, and dosage form of medications, compounding offers solutions for patients who do not respond well to standard treatments or require specialized care due to allergies, intolerances, or unique oral conditions.

Migraine:

Compounding migraine management allows pharmacists to create personalized medications that address the diverse and often complex needs of migraine sufferers. Many patients do not achieve sufficient relief from commercially available treatments or experience intolerable side effects. Compounded medications can be tailored in strength, formulation, and ingredient combination, offering targeted therapies for both acute migraine attacks and prevention.

Shingles:

Compounding for shingles enables pharmacists to create customized topical and transdermal therapies that address both the acute pain of the shingles rash and the persistent nerve pain known as postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). Standard oral antivirals and pain medications may not provide adequate relief for all patients, especially when insurance coverage is limited or side effects are a concern. Compounded medications can combine multiple active ingredients in tailored strengths and formulations, offering more effective and accessible options for symptom management.
