Michigan Doctors and HDRx Michigan Compounding Pharmacy Team Up for Personalized Patient Care
Healthcare is a collaborative field where the partnership between physicians and pharmacists may be the key to unlocking maximum potential in patient care. Doctors play a crucial role in diagnosing conditions and prescribing medications, while pharmacies help ensure those prescriptions align with individual needs. Health Dimensions Clinical Pharmacy (HDRx) specializes in innovative approaches to addressing health issues, offering compounded medications that may provide better alternative options when standard therapies are not suitable.
A study by Carter et al. (2008) highlighted that integrating pharmacists into primary care teams may enhance a patient’s health. Such interdisciplinary teamwork allows for comprehensive care strategies, particularly when customized medications are required.
For physicians looking to expand their resources and offer additional options to their patients, HDRx is here for you.

Also, vulnerable groups like children and older adults often require adjusted dosages, custom flavors, and alternative dosage forms to improve adherence and optimize patient outcomes.
Examples of Challenging Patient Cases HDRx Supports
- Chronic Pain & Neuropathy – Patients unable to tolerate oral pain medications may benefit from custom topical pain relief creams.
- Ophthalmology & Neurology – Patients with dry eye disease or migraine-related issues may benefit from Gabapentin eye drops and Timolol nasal spray.
Compounded Medications for Complex Cases

For Michigan providers handling difficult cases, HDRx offers innovative solutions when commercial medications fall short.
4. Alternatives to Discontinued & Hard-to-Find Medications
When pharmaceutical companies discontinue medications or experience shortages, HDRx compounds alternatives to ensure patients don’t lose access to critical care.
Discontinued or Limited-Supply Medications HDRx Can Compound
- Urised was a medication that combined several active ingredients: hyoscyamine, benzoic acid, atropine sulfate, methenamine, methylene blue, phenyl salicylate, and sodium phosphate. Practitioners such as urologists and obstetricians (OB/GYN) commonly prescribe it to alleviate various symptoms associated with urinary tract infections or diagnostic procedures, such as discomfort, inflammation, pain, frequent urination, and cramps or spasms within the urinary tract.
Urised was discontinued in the late 2000s, which led most patients to use a similar drug, Uribel as an alternative. The problem? Most health providers find it increasingly difficult to prescribe Uribel due to supply shortages.
Luckily, HDRx can prepare a similar, potentially better, compounded alternative to meet the immediate needs of patients facing urinary tract discomfort, pain, frequent urination, and cramps/spasms caused by infection or medical procedures..

How to Work with HDRx for Compounded Medications
Improving Patient Care Through Collaboration
HDRx makes it easy for Michigan healthcare providers to seamlessly integrate compounding services into their practice.
Every patient is different, and sometimes mass-produced medications aren’t the best fit.
