Podiatry Center Newport
Podiatry! Podiatrists can use compounded medications for better results:
NewportCenter Compounding Pharmacy has the best podiatrist in Newport, specializing in compounded solutions for Podiatrists. Our pharmacy has years of experience and is committed to providing the specialty medications that podiatrists and their patients require. Because we know that every patient is unique, we offer specially formulated drugs suited to certain podiatric disorders.
As one of the best Podiatry centers, we offer efficient remedies that conventional pharmaceuticals may not always fully address, ranging from topical pain relief creams to specialist wound healing formulas.
Onychomycosis nail fungus
Several commercial products are available to treat onychomycosis, including griseofulvin, itraconazole, Terbinafine, as well as ciclopirox 8% nail lacquer (Penlac). It takes 10 to 18 months for griseofulvin to work and has poor cure rates. Podiatry Oral therapy with itraconazole and Terbinafine also present problems with drug interactions and liver toxicity.
A patient with compromised liver function and a GERD patient on a PPI will not qualify for oral itraconazole.
For patients who cannot use antifungals, Penlac is the only commercial topical treatment available. However, Penlac reportedly has only a 14% cure rate after several months of use.
Having a compounded prescription medication from a compounding Pharmacy may overcome these problems and avoid the need for extensive liver monitoring.
Antifungals can be dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) which has superior nail penetration and can be delivered directly to the infection site. Terbinafine and azole antifungals are examples of antifungals that can be compounded in DMSO.
Possible formulas -
- Itraconazole 1%/Ibuprofen 2% in DMSO nail polish

The classic treatment for warts is salicylic acid, used topically.

Numerous medications are commercially available to treat diabetic neuropathy and help return sensitization. Some drugs used to treat diabetic neuropathy are amitriptyline, baclofen, ketamine, gabapentin, and clonidine.
These medications, which are not commercially available, can be combined topically to benefit diabetic patients. Combinations of topical medications have the advantage of fewer adverse effects as well as using one medication rather than several.
