Conditions we treat
General Compounding
Here at Wickham house compounding pharmacy, we can help meet your unique medication needs
Bio-identical HRT
Hormone replacement therapy is most often used to treat the symptoms of menopause, although hormones can become unbalanced at any stage of life. For women, symptoms such as hot flushes, vaginal dryness, irritability, sleep disturbances, weight gain, fibrocystic breasts and endometriosis may all be signs of hormone imbalance.
Cosmeceuticals
While aging of the skin can’t be halted, in many cases it can be slowed down. In fact, some of the symptoms of aging that are visible on the skin are actually treatable. Many of the causes of wrinkling and loss of elasticity that come with age have been identified. These factors include sun, cold, wind, smoking, fatigue, stress, poor nutrition and even environmental irritants such as soaps or detergents.
Dentistry
In dentistry, no two patients are alike; they all differ in their treatment requirements. From a child requiring oral anaesthesia, to an elderly patient being fitted for dentures, the provision of customised medication can certainly optimise patient outcomes.
Discontinued Medication
Each year, many commonly used medications are discontinued by manufacturers. Often a manufacturer is forced to discontinue a product due to manufacturing problems or declining profits. Provided there are no safety concerns regarding the discontinued drug, compounding can often provide a solution for patients requiring the commercially unavailable product.
Migraines
Migraine is a common and distressing disorder. It has been reported that there are approximately 2 million migraine sufferers in Australia. Although more Australians suffer from migraine than from diabetes or asthma or coronary heart disease, migraine is often undiagnosed and untreated .
Muscle Cramps
It has been suggested that up to 90% of people will suffer from sea sickness at some stage in their lives. Drowsiness is often the first sign of sea sickness and sweating, nausea and vomiting often follow.
Paediatric Compounding
The truth is, there is nothing fun about being sick. And sometimes, having to take medication just makes it worse!
Pain Management
Pain is one of the most common symptoms for which people seek medical help. It can take the form of headaches, arthritis, fibromyalgia, muscles strained from sports activities or the result of an injury. Acute pain can often evolve into chronic pain, which can be difficult to treat. For many patients, chronic pain is something they live with on a daily basis.
Sea Sickness
It has been suggested that up to 90% of people will suffer from sea sickness at some stage in their lives. Drowsiness is often the first sign of sea sickness and sweating, nausea and vomiting often follow.
Snoring
Snoring is a common condition affecting many people. It is been suggested that up to 60% of all adults snore occasionally and that 25% of adults are habitual snorers. It is known that the incidence of snoring increases with age.
