The art and science of compounding is the process of mixing drugs to fit the unique needs of an individual. The Bob Mehr Compounding Pharmacies focus on compounded medications in the areas of bio-identical hormone therapy, pediatrics, pain relief, skin conditions, wound care, and veterinary medications. For example, if you have a pet that does not like swallowing a tablet, we can formulate the medication into a cream that you rub onto your pet’s skin to make medicine time more satisfying for both you and your pet. Compounding also allows our pharmacy staff to prepare medications that are no longer commercially manufactured. If you are allergic to dyes or preservatives, we can make your medication dye or preservative free.

Here are just some of the examples where compounding has served many of our clients:

Travel Balm: Do you seem to catch a cold when you travel? Try our compounded remedy before you go traveling.

Bright light therapy is simple to administer, and very effective for most SAD sufferers if they use a well-designed light box on a regular daily schedule. Like drugs, light can be “dosed” by changing the intensity level, the exposure duration and/or the time of day that it is used. The recommended starting dose is 10,000 lux for 30 minutes in the morning. Dosage is then increased or decreased from there to meet individual needs.
