Medications tailored to your specific needs. Our pharmacists prepare custom formulations including unique dosages, flavors, and delivery forms.
Not every patient fits a one-size-fits-all medication. At Eltingville Pharmacy, our custom compounding service creates personalized medications tailored to your exact needs. Whether you need a specific dosage that isn't commercially available, a medication without a certain allergen or dye, or a child-friendly flavor to make medicine time easier, our skilled pharmacists can prepare it for you.
Compounding is especially valuable for patients in Staten Island who need hormone replacement therapy, pain management creams, dermatological preparations, or pediatric formulations. We work directly with your physician to develop the right formulation, strength, and delivery method — from topical creams and oral suspensions to suppositories and sublingual drops.
