DERMATOLOGY
Dermatologic conditions are widely varied and very specific to the patient. We understand that yours is a specialty that benefits from alternatives and flexibility. Because the medication is so often applied on visible areas of the body, the aesthetic aspect is equally important for your patients. We will work with you to customize cosmetically appealing therapeutic creams, topical sprays and powders for topical application. In addition to topical applications, we can avail alternative methods of administration, such as oral formulations and suppositories to meet the unique needs of your patients.
