Anti-Infectives Focus Areas
Topical Wound Care
Every wound is different and requires a different topical application method. Our pharmacies compound targeted antibiotic and antimicrobial formulations in multiple delivery methods, from direct-apply ointments and powders to saturated gauze and soaks. Prescribers can specify exact active ingredient combinations and concentrations based on culture and sensitivity results for each patient.
Popular Wound Care Forms:
- Direct Apply Ointment
- Direct Apply Powder
- Saturated Gauze
- Soak
Sinus & ENT Anti-Infectives
Our pharmacies compound anti-infective solutions designed for use with nasal nebulizers, sinus rinse devices, and spray irrigation systems. Prescribers can specify active ingredients and concentrations for preparations intended to be applied directly to the sinus cavity and nasal passages.
Sinus Delivery Methods:
- Nasal Nebulizer
- Sinus Rinse
- Spray Irrigation
Antifungal Formulations
Fungal infections of the skin, nails, and mucous membranes often require targeted concentrations or combination formulations not available commercially. Our pharmacies prepare custom antifungal preparations using agents such as itraconazole, voriconazole, terbinafine, and clotrimazole in topical ointments, solutions, and powders at strengths specified by the prescriber.
Popular Antifungal Forms:
- Topical Ointment
- Topical Solution

Compounded for Anti-Infectives: What to Know
What is the role of culture and sensitivity testing in compounded anti-infective formulations?
Culture and sensitivity results, including DNA identification, help prescribers identify which organisms are present and which active ingredients to target. Our pharmacists review these results and work with the prescriber to compound a formulation with the appropriate agents at the appropriate concentrations for each patient’s specific clinical picture.
What topical application methods are available for compounded anti-infectives?
Compounded anti-infective formulations can be prepared as direct-apply ointments, direct-apply powders, saturated gauze, soaks, spray irrigations, and nasal delivery systems including nebulizers and sinus rinse devices. The prescribing provider determines which method is appropriate based on the wound type, location, and clinical requirements.
Can compounded anti-infective formulations combine multiple active ingredients?
Yes. Compounding allows the prescriber to combine multiple antibiotic, antifungal, or antimicrobial agents into a single preparation at custom concentrations based on culture results and the patient’s clinical needs.
Do I need a prescription for compounded anti-infective medications?
Yes. All compounded medications require a valid prescription from a licensed prescriber. Anti-infective formulations are prepared based on an individual prescription as part of a provider-directed treatment plan.
