Compounded Pruritus (Itching) Treatment Pharmacy in Plano, TX
UnityRX Pharmacy is a compounding pharmacy in Plano, TX that prepares customized topical treatments for pruritus (itching), based on a licensed prescriber's prescription for an individual patient.
What Is Compounded Pruritus Treatment?
Itching that won't quit has a clinical name: pruritus. It shows up for a lot of reasons, including dry skin, a rash, or sometimes nothing a patient can point to. UnityRX compounds anti-itch formulas that combine pramoxine, menthol, camphor, and doxepin into a single product, at whatever strength and combination a prescriber writes for, rather than sending a patient home with three separate tubes.
UnityRX prepares these formulas only pursuant to a valid prescription.
Pruritus (itching) is one of several conditions supported through UnityRX's dermatology compounding services.
