Venous Stasis Ulcer Compounding

Compounded Medications, Delivered Free Anywhere in Texas.

UnityRX Pharmacy compounds custom topical preparations that a prescriber can order for venous stasis ulcer care in Plano, TX and across Texas. Venous stasis ulcers develop on the lower leg when weakened vein valves let blood pool instead of returning efficiently to the heart, raising pressure in the tissue until the skin breaks down. These wounds tend to be slow-healing and can recur, and the skin around them is often irritated, discolored, or fragile. A compounded preparation is made to the prescriber's exact written order and is meant to work alongside — not replace — compression therapy and clinical wound management.

What Causes Venous Stasis Ulcers

Venous insufficiency is the underlying driver: valves inside the leg veins weaken over time, blood backs up, and the surrounding skin becomes swollen, discolored, and eventually breaks down into an open ulcer, usually near the ankle. The skin nearby is frequently affected by venous stasis dermatitis — dry, itchy, or scaly patches that make choosing the right topical base especially important.

What UnityRX Can Compound

Working from a licensed prescriber's written order, UnityRX prepares formulations for venous stasis ulcer and surrounding-skin care, including:

• Multi-ingredient topical creams, gels, and ointments combining several prescribed components into one application
• Preservative-free and dye-free bases for skin already irritated by venous stasis dermatitis
• Moisture-balancing topical preparations for the periwound skin
• Flavored oral troches or suspensions for patients who have difficulty swallowing standard tablets or capsules

All formulations are prepared to your prescriber’s exact specifications, patient by patient, according to the prescriber's order.

Compression Therapy Comes First

Compression is the recognized first-line treatment for venous leg ulcers, and it's managed by the prescribing physician or wound care clinic — not something a compounding pharmacy provides. UnityRX's role is to prepare the topical or oral formulation your prescriber has ordered to work alongside that compression and wound care plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer home delivery?

Yes. UnityRX offers delivery in addition to in-store pickup at our Plano, TX location.

How do I send my prescription to UnityRX Pharmacy?

Your prescriber can submit a compounding order in any of the following ways:

• Fax: 972-214-0351
• E-prescribe
• Call: 972-214-0350
• Online transfer form

Do I still need to wear compression stockings if I'm using a compounded topical?

Yes, if your prescriber has ordered compression therapy. A compounded topical supports the skin and wound but does not replace the compression that addresses the underlying venous insufficiency.

Can a formulation be made for the itchy, discolored skin around my ulcer, not just the wound itself?

Yes. Prescribers commonly order a separate or combined formulation to address venous stasis dermatitis on the surrounding skin — ask your provider what they would like included in the order.
