HAVE YOU TRIED ALL KINDS OF MEDICINE BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK?
If you suffer from a chronic disease or disorder but have tried every kind of over-the-counter or prescribed medicine and nothing seems to work, you aren’t alone. Many Australians face the prospect of living with a disease that medications as they are currently available, just won’t alleviate. This is partly because some drugs or medications recommended by Australia’s pharmaceutical watchdog, the Therapeutic Goods Administration, are not usually available via your usual pharmacy or chemist. This is due to many reasons: Some medications are not sold due to a perceived “small market” – for example, Boric Acid Pessaries are recommended for treating vaginal thrush, but is not usually available to consumers. Pharmaceutical companies have discontinued other types of medication citing to poor sales. A common misconception about discontinued drugs is they are no longer safe or effective. For example, Migraine medication Cafergot is still a safe and effective treatment. It was simply deemed commercially unviable for production by the manufacturer. Due to regulations and other factors, medications are not marketed in Australia but are available overseas. Drugs such as Clobetasol and Tacrolimus are used for severe eczema and other skin disorders fall under this category.

eCOMPOUNDING CHEMIST – TAILORING MEDICATIONS FOR YOU
Though it’s easy to begrudge big pharmaceutical companies for trying to turn a profit any way possible, it’s sometimes bad sense to manufacture certain drugs or vitamins in unusual doses. Preparations of Vitamin D usually comes in doses of 1000IU (International Units.) This is due to Vitamin D’s poor shelf life. Through compounding, you can benefit from a “bolus” or “super” dose of Vitamin D (over 100,000IU) taken every three months instead of once per day. Other times, medications by themselves are not as effective unless combined with drug or medicine in a different form, such as nasal sprays or topical creams. Often, they may be available in one form (i.e., orally) but not in others (i.e., topically as a pessary). For some patients, swallowing orally-administered anti-nausea medication is unsuitable, to say the least. With compounding, the same medication is made available in a different, more convenient form with a dosage that suits your needs.
