Sixth Avenue Medical Pharmacy prepares medications and formulations to meet patient’s special needs. We use the finest, high quality ingredients available to make each specially compounded medication. Our highly trained pharmacists work with all health care providers to help patients get the best care possible and return to being healthy once again. We serve a variety of specialties with our compounding services; Veterinary, Bio-Identical Hormones, Dental, Sports Medicine, Dermatology, Chronic Pain and many more. This is not a typical pharmacy and you are not just a typical customer. You deserve the time, experience and attention only Sixth Avenue Medical Pharmacy can provide.
We can provide alternate dosage forms. Frequently medicines are only available in one form. This often presents a problem for patients who have trouble with the traditional pill or capsule. However, through compounding we can make several different forms of your required medication.
- Capsules
- Oral suspensions/solutions
- Sublingual drops
- Suppositories
- Troches/lozenges
- Transdermal creams, lotions, gels
- Specialty flavors and scents
- Forms free of dye, sugar and/or preservatives
Prescription compounding is achieved through an essential triad relationship between the patient, physician and pharmacist. The prescriber/provider first prescribes the medication. The pharmacist then takes the necessary ingredients, compounds them, and dispenses the medicines to the patient after a thorough and personal consultation. This enables patients to receive the type of personalized care they need and allows the pharmacist to provide more patient oriented services; services that many times conventional pharmacies overlook.

Bio-Identical Hormones
Bio-Identical hormones are most often used to treat menopause symptoms such as: hot flashes, vaginal dryness, low libido, weight gain, irritability, moodiness and sleep disturbances. We have been compounding hormone replacement therapies since 1964 and work with several area providers. We work closely with you and your health care provider to formulate a customized solution that works for you. We offer dosage forms such as: capsules, topical creams and gels, sublingual lozenges/troches and liquids and suppositories.
Pain Management
With a prescription from your healthcare provider, our compounding specialists at Sixth Avenue Medical Pharmacy can custom compound a variety of dosage forms to meet our patient’s needs. These dosage forms include: topical gels & creams, specialty flavored troches & lollipops, suppositories and more. This allows a more precise and concentrated pain relief and helps to minimize side effects commonly found with other pain medications. Pain can be debilitating, whether its acute muscle or nerve pain from an accident or chronic pain such as arthritis or fibromyalgia, we can help. We have a variety of flavors to offer so be sure to check out our flavor list and see what is available.
Sports Medicine
Physical therapists, athletes, coaches and team physicians are often faced with sports injuries. Medications that relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and relax muscles can have side effects that are detrimental to athletic performance. However, when these medications are administered topically, the same therapeutic effect can be achieved while reducing the risk of side effects. At Sixth Avenue Medical Pharmacy our compounding specialists can prepare customized formulations that can focus on the affected area. We have been providing customized solutions to athletes and sports teams around the northwest for many years and look forward to working with you.
