Pruritus

Pruritus can stem from various causes, including skin conditions, systemic diseases, medication side effects, or neurological factors. When traditional anti-itch medications don’t provide sufficient relief, our compounding pharmacists can create personalized formulations tailored to your needs.

We can compound specialized preparations that combine multiple active ingredients at precise concentrations to target your particular type of itch. By creating custom formulations, we can simultaneously incorporate medications that work through different mechanisms, addressing inflammation, nerve sensitivity, and histamine response in one application.

Here is how we can help:

• Multi-ingredient topical preparations combining antihistamines, local anesthetics, and anti-inflammatory agents
• Novel delivery systems that enhance penetration and duration of relief
• Specialized bases that soothe while delivering medication
• Non-irritating formulations free from common allergens, dyes, or preservatives
• Targeted solutions for specific body areas (scalp solutions, genital area preparations, etc.)

For patients with neurological itch that does not respond to traditional antihistamines, we can compound medications incorporating nerve-stabilizing agents not typically available in commercial products. We can also create formulations with menthol, camphor, or cannabinoid derivatives in precise concentrations for cooling relief and neurological modulation.

Working closely with your dermatologist, physician or nurse practitioner, our compounding pharmacists can help create a personalized treatment regimen that addresses your unique psoriasis challenges.
