Pharmacy is an art and a science. For centuries pharmacists hand crafted medications for patients, tailoring the drugs to suit the patient's exact needs. Now many pharmacists forgo the art of their profession and just dispense standardized medicines from large pharmaceutical companies.

Not the pharmacists at Share 'n Care Pharmacy. While we do fill standard prescriptions, our focus is on compounded medications, especially topical formulas. These medications are customized formulas based on a doctor's prescription but tailored to fit a patient's specific needs and medical condition. We create all kinds of formulas — syrups, pills, even lollipops — but our specialty is "transdermal medicines." These creams and gels are applied directly to the skin so they're easy to use. And, because they enter the bloodstream through the skin, they bypass the stomach and liver, which reduces side effects.

How does compounding work? We start with your prescription. Then we modify the strength and the form of that medicine to match your tolerances using pure, certified pharmaceutical formulations from our resource. Can't swallow pills? Allergic to the artificial dyes and preservatives in standard drugs? Suffer from pain? We can create formulas to address all of those problems. We can even combine multiple medications into one, easy-to-take dosage!

Every compound we create is doctor-prescribed and created by licensed pharmacists that use state-of-the-art equipment in our clean room and pharmacy lab.

We're part of a "triad", the partnership between you, your doctor and our pharmacists. We work together to solve your medicine problems.

We specialize in compounded medications for:

• All Natural Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) — More women — and men — are experiencing hormone imbalance and are looking for effective hormone replacement therapy (HRT) without negative side effects. We have the answer. We create plant-based bio-identical hormones. Our formulations match those found in the human body exactly. Synthetic hormones use substitute chemicals, that don't match the body's natural chemistry and, therefore, cause negative side effects. Our all-natural HRT has all the benefits of standard hormone replacements — without the side effects.  

"I had been on Prempro for years to control menopause symptoms including severe hot flashes. Then reports came out advising patients to stop taking it, so I did. My hot flashes started right back up again. I turned to the team at Share 'n Care Pharmacy... They did some tests and created a natural hormone cream designed just for my body. Now my hot flashes are gone!"
Nan Windle, Belen, N.M.

• Erectile Dysfunction — We also develop compounded medicine for men with erectile dysfunction (ED.) According to the National Institutes for Health, as many as 20 million men suffer from ED. The condition is caused by a number of medical factors including spinal cord injuries, heart disease, diabetes and hormonal changes. We customize medications that can help. First, your urologist will test and prescribe a medication, which is usually an injection. Then we'll create the formulation and send it directly to your home.

• Pain Relief — Effective pain relief — for neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, migraines and more — is one of medicine's biggest challenges. Using doctor-prescribed medications, we can ease pain by creating customized, topical formulations. Unlike common medications, our pain relievers avoid the stomach and liver, so you don't experience uncomfortable side effects. We can even combine many of your medications into one, easy-to-apply cream!

"After being in a serious car accident I developed fibromyalgia that caused intense pain and migraine headaches. Doctors kept prescribing more surgeries and more medications, which weren't working. Finally, a Certified Nurse Practitioner referred me to the team at Share 'n Care Pharmacy. They created a topical treatment to control my pain and inflammation. I was skeptical... But then I tried it!   The pain started to go away, and so did the swelling in my legs. Now I'm able to manage my pain and live a more active life. Thank you Share 'n Care Pharmacy!"   Paula Smith, Las Cruces, NM

• Wound Therapy — Compounded prescriptions have proven very effective in wound care. We customize applications like ointments and transdermal patches that direct the medicine right at the source of the pain or wound. This approach speeds absorption and also minimizes the side effects of oral medications.

"My mom, an amputee, suffers severe pain from the amputation and from an open wound on her back. For two and half years we went to a series of medical providers - primary care physicians, wound clinics, plastic surgeons - to find ways to close the wounds and ease her pain. No one was able to help. One doctor recommended a compound ing pharmacy, so we went to Share 'n Care Pharmacy. The staff took a personal interest in our situation. They developed some formulations for us to try. After just a few months - which isn't long in our book - my Mom's wounds are healing and her pain is subsiding. It's amazing!" Pearl Trowbridge, on behalf of her 81-year old mother, Jean Chang, Rio Rancho, N.M.

• Hospice — Our personalized services and customized medications are especially well suited for hospice care. Our pharmacists work closely with doctors, caregivers and the patient to create topical formulations that ease symptoms and pain. These transdermal medications are ideal for patients that aren't able to tolerate oral medications.

• Veterinary Care — We help domestic and exotic animals too! We compound medications that are easy to administer and easy for animals to take. Fish flavored pâté for cats, fruit flavored syrups for birds, transdermal medications for all animals and much more. Each of the preparations contains just the right dosage based on the animal's size and strength.

• Respiratory Medications — Increasing numbers of our patients are suffering from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) or asthma. COPD is a multi-faceted disease where a number of conditions — including bronchitis and emphysema — inhibit airflow in the lungs. And asthma is one of the most chronic medical conditions for children and adults in the US. We create customized, compounded formulations for these patients. These compounded medications, administered via ultrasonic nebulizers, are very effective. Why?

• The dosage is more accurate
• Multiple medications can be combined into one dosage
• Pre-measured, premixed does make it easier for the patient to continue their treatment
• Inactive ingredients — like alcohol and preservatives — can be extracted

• Diabetic Formulations — Diabetics face special medical challenges. We can help. Our compounded medications ease diabetic neuropathy, leg sores and ulcers. Many of our formulas are effective in easing pain in the legs and feet due to damaged nerves and poor blood circulation. Other topical treatments help heal ulcers, increase cell growth, block pain pathways, and kill infection.
