Customized Dermatology & Aesthetic Formulations

Skin and scalp conditions can require different ingredients, strengths and delivery vehicles depending on the individual patient and treatment plan. GPS Pharmacy works with dermatology and aesthetic providers to prepare prescription compounds tailored to their patients' specific needs.

Depending on the prescription, customized preparations may include creams, gels, solutions, ointments and other topical formulations. Compounding can also provide flexibility when a provider needs a particular concentration, combination of ingredients or base that is not commercially available in the needed form.

Our pharmacy can work directly with the prescriber to discuss formulation options appropriate for the prescribed treatment.
