Podiatry Compounding

At Helix Pharmacy, serving Stayner, Wasaga Beach, and the surrounding communities, we understand the unique challenges and discomfort associated with foot and ankle conditions. Our specialized podiatry compounding services offer tailored medication solutions crafted by our experienced pharmacists to address a wide range of podiatric needs. We work closely with podiatrists and their patients to create customized medications that provide targeted relief and promote healing.

What is Podiatry Compounding?

Podiatry compounding involves the preparation of customized topical and sometimes oral medications specifically for the treatment of foot and ankle conditions. This allows for:

• Personalized Formulations: Tailoring medications to a patient's specific diagnosis, the location and severity of their condition, and any allergies or sensitivities to ingredients like fragrances, dyes, preservatives, or specific vehicles (creams, ointments, gels, solutions).
• Targeted Dosage Forms: Creating medications in forms that are most effective for application to the feet and ankles, such as: 
  • Topical Creams and Ointments: For localized treatment of  skin conditions, pain, and inflammation.
  • Gels and Solutions: For easier application, especially between toes or on larger areas.
  • Sprays: For convenient and less touch-sensitive application.
  • Soaks: Compounding powders or solutions for therapeutic foot soaks.
• Combination Therapies: Combining multiple medications into a single formulation, as prescribed by the podiatrist, to address various symptoms simultaneously (e.g., pain and inflammation).
• Strength Adjustments: Preparing medications with precise strengths that may not be commercially available.
• Compounding Unavailable Medications: Creating access to medications that may have been discontinued by manufacturers.
• Enhanced Penetration: Formulating topical medications with specific vehicles to enhance absorption through the skin or nails of the feet.
