Giving
medication to your child is often difficult in itself, but

Pregnancy
Pregnancy should be a wonderful experience for women, but
sometimes it becomes difficult. Early in the pregnancy, the
uterus must possess a certain thickness so that the embryo
can attach itself to the lining. Some women are not able to
keep this thickness throughout the first few weeks of
pregnancy, and they lose their baby. Progesterone can be
used to keep the endometrium of the uterus thick so that the
embryo will stay attached to the uterus. At Eufaula
Pharmacy, we compound progesterone into several different
forms such as:
Vaginal Suppositories
Capsules
Topical Gels
Lozenges
Injections
Are you having trouble keeping down your nausea and vomiting
medications?
During pregnancy, one of the most common related ailments is
nausea and vomiting. We formulate Promethazine, one of the
most commonly prescribed tablets for nausea and vomiting,
into a topical gel that may be absorbed through the skin on
the wrists or stomach so that the medication will not be
lost if vomiting occurs. |
