Custom Compounded Medications in NWA

When standard commercial medications cannot meet your needs, Collier Drug Store can help!

Mass-produced commercial medications come in limited strengths, dosage forms, flavors, and are combined with inactive ingredients such as dyes, preservatives, or other ingredients that many patients cannot tolerate. When standard commercial medications will not work for you, our lab can provide a compounded alternative to meet your unique needs.

Pain Management Pharmaceuticals

Collier Compounding works with patients and physicians to compound specialized medications for those suffering both chronic and acute pain.

Custom topical creams that combine several different active ingredients may be applied directly to the affected area to block pain right at the source. Using topical medications applied directly to the site of pain reduces many side effects to lower levels than those seen with oral medications. Interactions with other medications and conflicts with chronic conditions are reduced as well.

Hospice Specialized Treatment in NWA

We understand the special needs of hospice care and work with hospice staff and your physician to find the best option for treatment.
