At Wingate’s Pharmacy, we understand that foot and ankle conditions often require a specialized approach. That’s why we offer customized podiatric compounding services to support treatment plans prescribed by foot and ankle specialists.
Whether managing pain, inflammation, infections, or skin-related issues, our compounded medications can be tailored to meet the specific needs of individual patients, providing an alternative when commercially available products may not be ideal.

Individualized Dosing and Ingredient Combinations
Every patient is different—and so are their feet. We work closely with podiatrists to prepare individualized dosing regimens that can:
- Combine multiple active ingredients into a single topical formulation
- Provide strength adjustments based on the patient’s needs or sensitivities
- Exclude allergens, dyes, or ingredients that may not be well tolerated
Dosage Forms and Delivery Systems
We offer a variety of dosage forms commonly used in podiatric care:
- Topical creams, ointments, or gels
- Transdermal bases for localized delivery
- Powders or sprays for antifungal and drying effects
- Nail lacquers for difficult-to-reach infections
- Oral formulations in unique strengths or combinations (when prescribed)
For enhanced ease of use, we may offer custom applicators, pre-filled syringes, or airless pump dispensers, depending on the formulation.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What makes compounded medications different from over-the-counter products?
Compounded medications are prepared specifically for your needs under a prescription from your provider. They may include specific strengths, ingredient combinations, or forms not available commercially.
Can you make a topical cream for foot pain that avoids systemic medications?
Topical formulations may be prepared using only the ingredients prescribed by your podiatrist. Talk to your provider about whether a topical option is appropriate for your condition.
Can I use compounded medications alongside other treatments?
Your podiatrist will determine how compounded treatments fit into your overall care plan. Be sure to follow their directions carefully and inform them of all medications you are taking.
Do you compound treatments for nail fungus?
We can prepare customized topical formulations, including nail lacquers, based on your podiatrist’s prescription.
