Our expert pharmacists collaborate closely with healthcare providers to develop medications that promote tissue repair, reduce infection risk, and enhance patient comfort. Whether you’re a prescriber seeking flexible treatment options or a patient looking for effective wound care solutions, Custom Care Compounding is your trusted partner in healing.
Why Choose Compounded Medications for Wound Care?
Compounding pharmacies offer unique advantages for wound care by addressing limitations of commercially available treatments. Our customized formulations provide:
Tailored Strengths and Combinations: Adjust active ingredients like antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, or vasodilators to precise dosages for optimal healing and reduced side effects.
Specialized Delivery Methods: Create gels, ointments, creams, or solutions suited to the wound type and location, improving application and absorption while minimizing irritation.
Allergen-Free Formulations: Eliminate irritants like dyes, fragrances, or preservatives to ensure compatibility with sensitive or compromised skin.
Combination Therapies: Combine multiple active ingredients (e.g., antibiotics with pain relievers) into a single formulation to simplify treatment and improve compliance.
Patient-Specific Solutions: Address unique challenges, such as chronic wounds in diabetic patients or burns requiring enhanced blood flow, with formulations tailored to individual needs.
By partnering with Custom Care Compounding, prescribers gain the flexibility to customize treatments, while patients benefit from medications designed for their specific wound care needs.
How Compounding Supports Wound Care
Our compounding pharmacy offers targeted solutions for a variety of wound care challenges, including:
Chronic Wounds (e.g., Diabetic Ulcers, Pressure Ulcers): Compounded medications promote tissue regeneration, fight infection, and manage pain, addressing the complex needs of non-healing wounds.
Surgical Wounds: Customized formulations support post-operative healing by reducing inflammation, preventing infection, and enhancing tissue repair.
Burns: Specialized gels or ointments reduce pain and promote healing while improving blood flow to damaged tissues.
Acute Wounds (e.g., Cuts, Abrasions): Compounded treatments provide antimicrobial protection and pain relief in forms that are easy to apply to sensitive areas.
Infected or At-Risk Wounds: Antibiotics and vasodilators are tailored to combat specific pathogens or improve circulation, reducing the risk of complications.
Our pharmacists adhere to USP <795> and USP <800> standards for non-sterile compounding, ensuring every formulation is safe, effective, and of the highest quality. We collaborate with prescribers to create medications that align with clinical goals and patient preferences.
Top Non-Sterile Compounded Formulas for Wound Care
Below are some of the most effective non-sterile compounded formulations we offer for wound care, designed to meet the needs of prescribers and patients. These formulations promote healing, manage pain, and prevent infection.
Phenytoin and Misoprostol Ointment
Purpose: Promotes healing in chronic wounds, such as diabetic or pressure ulcers.
Benefits: Phenytoin stimulates tissue regeneration and improves blood flow, while misoprostol enhances granulation tissue formation. This combination accelerates healing in non-healing wounds, with studies showing improved closure rates in diabetic ulcers. The formulation can be customized with moisturizing bases to maintain a healing environment.
Form: Ointment or gel for topical application.
Example Use: A prescriber orders a 2% phenytoin and 0.0024% misoprostol ointment for a patient with a diabetic foot ulcer to promote tissue repair.
Antibiotic Combination Gels (e.g., Metronidazole, Gentamicin)
Purpose: Treats or prevents infection in chronic or acute wounds.
Benefits: Combines antibiotics like metronidazole (for anaerobic bacteria) and gentamicin (for gram-negative bacteria) to target specific pathogens. The gel base ensures easy application and adherence to wound beds, reducing odor and infection risk. Custom strengths minimize systemic absorption and resistance.
Form: Topical gel or cream.
Example Use: A 2% metronidazole gel for a patient with an infected pressure ulcer to reduce bacterial load and odor.
Lidocaine and Prilocaine Cream (Pain Relief)
Purpose: Manages pain in wounds or during dressing changes.
Benefits: Combines lidocaine and prilocaine for localized anesthesia, reducing discomfort during wound care procedures. Can be compounded with healing agents or antibiotics for a multi-faceted approach. The cream base is non-irritating and suitable for sensitive skin.
Form: Cream or ointment for topical use.
Example Use: A 2.5% lidocaine and 2.5% prilocaine cream for a patient with painful burn wounds to ease dressing changes.
Nifedipine Ointment
Purpose: Enhances blood flow to promote healing in chronic wounds or ischemic ulcers.
Benefits: Nifedipine, a calcium channel blocker, acts as a vasodilator to improve blood circulation to the wound site, supporting tissue repair and oxygen delivery. Compounded in a soothing ointment base, it reduces pain and promotes healing, particularly in wounds with poor vascular supply, such as diabetic or venous ulcers.
Form: Topical ointment for daily application.
Example Use: A 0.2% nifedipine ointment for a patient with a venous stasis ulcer to improve blood flow and accelerate healing.
Pentoxifylline Topical Cream
Purpose: Improves microcirculation and reduces inflammation in chronic wounds.
Benefits: Pentoxifylline enhances blood flow by improving red blood cell flexibility and reducing blood viscosity, promoting oxygen delivery to wound sites. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, making it effective for chronic wounds like venous ulcers or diabetic foot ulcers. Compounded in a cream base, it ensures easy application and patient comfort.
Form: Topical cream for daily use.
Example Use: A 5% pentoxifylline cream for a patient with a chronic venous ulcer to enhance circulation and reduce inflammation.
Note: All compounded medications require a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider. Our pharmacists work closely with prescribers to ensure formulations meet clinical and patient-specific needs.
