Topical Creams
Creams are a semisolid dosage form that penetrates the skin, allowing active pharmaceutical ingredients to absorb through the tissue. Topical creams can provide systemic support for symptoms occurring throughout the body while avoiding oral administration. These preparations can be formulated to include multiple active ingredients, simplifying patients’ therapy and routine.
Customized bases are a key component of compounded topical and vaginal therapy. While traditional products have standard limitations, compounding pharmacies like MedQuest create space for providers and patients to tailor medications to fit individual needs.
MedQuest Pharmacy offers a range of topical bases to ensure patient preference reigns supreme. Manufactured bases like VersaBase® and HRT Base are often selected by patients and providers. VersaBase is hypoallergenic, nonirritating, and offers a silky texture and moisturizing component. HRT cream base is also hypoallergenic and may be a preferred choice for multi-hormone topical combinations. Learn more about our other preferred topical bases, like Ellage® Anhydrous Vaginal and VersaBase™ Cream.
Topical Solutions and Suspensions
Solutions are liquid medications in which the active ingredient is fully dissolved into the mixture, and suspensions are liquids containing fine particles of active ingredient. Completely customizable, solutions and suspensions can be the perfect option for hair and scalp therapies.
Both solutions and suspensions can be formulated for oral use, depending on the active ingredients involved. Compounding oral medications into flavored liquid form can support individuals that have trouble swallowing solid dosage forms, like elderly populations and young children.
