Compounding for Women’s and Men’s Health
Nonhormonal preparations now. Hormones once our containment room is built.
Most hormones are on the NIOSH hazardous drug list and must be compounded in a contained, separately ventilated room under USP <800>. Cambria is building that room. Until it is complete and verified, we prepare nonhormonal preparations only.
Common reasons to compound
- Nonhormonal vaginal preparations prescribed by component
- Excipient-free versions for patients with sensitivities
- Topicals in a base suited to the site
For: OB/GYNs, urologists, primary care, endocrinologists
For Women’s and Men’s Health
Examples we prepare.
Examples, not a full list. Every prescription is reviewed by the compounding pharmacist, and the formula, beyond-use date and price are confirmed before anything is made.

Approved drugs go through FDA review before marketing. Compounded preparations do not. Knowing what that means helps patients and prescribers choose well.
Human Compounding
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.
Dosage Forms
A Guide to Nonsterile Dosage Forms
Capsules, liquids, creams, ointments, gels, troches and suppositories each solve a different problem. Here is how they compare.
