While the location of many oral disease states would allow for ready topical treatment, often the necessary medication is not available in a topical form. However, such medication dosage forms frequently can be provided to the dental medicine professional by a compounding pharmacy.

For example, corticosteroids can be incorporated into a mouth wash for the treatment of canker sores, lichen planus, cicatricial pemphigoid and pemphigus. In plain language, medications can be incorporated into sticky substances to treat many mouth issues. Further, the pain associated with these conditions can be relieved with the use of a prescription analgesic agent that is compounded with a mucoadhesive agent.

Intraoral pain secondary to neuralgias, chemotherapy, neoplasms, trauma and infection can be treated using prescription analgesic and/or anti-inflammatory agents compounded with pluronic lecithin organogel (PLO) that allow for the ready absorption of the active agent(s) through oral or facial tissues.

Troches containing an anti-fungal agent for the treatment of thrush, and alcohol-free microbicidal mouth rinses helpful in the management of gingivitis and periodontitis also can be compounded.

Broadway Apothecary can provide the practitioner of dental medicine with a variety of custom-made prescription compounded medications that can be helpful in the management of a number of dental disease states.

It’s great to have the convenience of a medication that my cats will take and that is custom flavored to their taste. It really makes the administering of their medications so much easier! - Joann
