For Providers

Only the tacrolimus ointment, capsules, granules, and injection are FDA-approved, so otic solutions, rectal enemas, gels, creams, foams, and shampoos are compounded and off-label. This guide sets out the forms, strengths, published evidence by route, the current boxed warning, and what belongs on the prescription.

Compounded pain creams combine two to four actives with different mechanisms in one topical base, at strengths no manufacturer offers. This provider guide covers the ingredient menu, the strength and base options, what the published literature reports, and what to put on the prescription.

The published seven-class topical corticosteroid potency chart, given twice: once by class and once sorted by molecule for lookup. Then what the vehicle changes, why a compounded strength has no class, and the triamcinolone and fluocinonide preparations Bayview compounds on a prescriber's order.

Bayview compounds Trimix, Bimix and Quadmix as intracavernosal preparations in 2.5 mL multi-dose vials, at the concentration a prescriber orders. This provider guide sets out the actives, the published concentration ranges, what a prescription or e-prescribe entry needs to contain, the cash prices, and the priapism language carried on the formulation pages.

A prescriber-facing guide to low dose naltrexone: available strengths and forms, the titration ranges reported in the literature, perioperative and monitoring considerations, and how to write the order. It reproduces what the published trials found, including the negative ones.

What ketamine is, how compounded nasal spray differs from the FDA-approved esketamine product, and the risks the FDA identified in its 2022 alert.

What low-dose atropine is used for in childhood myopia, what the trials have and have not settled, and why this is entirely an eye doctor's decision.

Federal law limits when a compounding pharmacy may prepare a drug that is commercially available, and those limits turn on FDA's shortage list rather than on empty shelves. This page walks through where those lines fall, using the 2022 pediatric ibuprofen and acetaminophen scarcity as a worked example.

What alveolar osteitis is, why it follows some extractions and not others, what goes into a medicated socket dressing, and what the evidence behind those components does and does not show.
