Creams and Ointments: Tailored to treat specific skin issues with precise ingredients for effective results.
Serums: Customized to address various skin concerns, from anti-aging to hydration.
Topical Solutions: Formulated to deliver medications directly to the skin for targeted relief.

Foot and nail conditions often require specialized treatments that are not always available in standard formulations. Our podiatry compounding services focus on creating customized solutions for:
Creams and Ointments: To address fungal infections, pain relief, and other foot ailments.
Capsules and Tablets: For internal treatments that complement topical therapies.
Specialty Formulations: Tailored to specific podiatric needs, such as reducing inflammation or treating calluses.
By offering these personalized podiatry solutions, we aim to help you achieve comfort and improve your foot health.
Why Compounded Medication is Beneficial
Compounded medication offers a personalized approach to treatment that is not always achievable with standard off-the-shelf medications. At Ramtown Pharmacy, we believe that compounding can provide significant benefits, especially when tailored to individual needs. Here’s why compounded medications are advantageous and how they differ from traditional, commercially available options:
Personalization and Customization:
Tailored Formulations: Compounded medications are created specifically for you, based on your unique medical needs and preferences. This means the medication can be adjusted in terms of dosage, strength, and form (such as creams, capsules, or liquids) to fit your exact requirements.
Allergy and Sensitivity Considerations: If you have allergies or sensitivities to certain ingredients or fillers commonly found in standard medications, compounded medications can be prepared without these substances, reducing the risk of adverse reactions.
Enhanced Efficacy and Compliance:
Customized Delivery Methods: Compounding allows for the creation of specialized delivery methods that may improve the effectiveness of the medication. For example, if a medication needs to be applied directly to the skin or a specific area, we can formulate it as a topical cream or ointment.
Improved Adherence: With personalized formulations, compounded medications can be made in more palatable forms or dosages that suit your lifestyle, making it easier to adhere to your prescribed treatment plan.
Addressing Unique Medical Needs:
Alternative Dosage Forms: If you have difficulty swallowing pills or require a specific dosage not available in commercially manufactured forms, we can create medications in alternative formats like liquids, gels, or dissolvable tablets.
Discontinued Medications: Sometimes, commercially available medications may be discontinued or unavailable. Compounding allows us to recreate these essential medications to ensure you continue receiving the necessary treatment.
Comparison with Off-the-Shelf Medications:
Standardization vs. Personalization: Off-the-shelf medications are manufactured to meet the general needs of the population, with fixed dosages and forms. Compounded medications, on the other hand, are customized specifically for each patient, addressing their individual needs and preferences.
One-Size-Fits-All vs. Tailored Solutions: While standard medications are designed for broad use, compounded medications offer a tailored solution that can be adjusted to meet your unique health requirements, enhancing overall treatment effectiveness.
