Compounding for ENT
Nasal, ear and throat preparations, within nonsterile limits.
Cambria prepares nonsterile nasal, ear and throat preparations on your prescription. Anything that must be sterile, such as eye drops or preparations for irrigation of internal body cavities, is outside our scope and we will tell you so.
Common reasons to compound
- A combination or strength not available commercially
- A preservative-free or excipient-free version
- An ear preparation in a vehicle suited to the canal
- Throat preparations prescribed by component
For: Otolaryngologists, allergists, primary care treating ear and sinus conditions

When an Inactive Ingredient Is the Problem
Dyes, lactose, gluten-containing starches and other inactive ingredients can matter for some patients. Compounding can sometimes leave them out.
