We are all familiar with the common symptoms of seasonal allergies, and just how miserable they can make the lives of those who suffer from them. Whether it is runny noses, aching heads, sore throats, sneezing, or red and irritated eyes, pollen allergies make it hard to live life the way we want to. While it's true that there are countless over the counter and prescription medicines that will lessen the symptoms, not enough people are aware that sterile compounding pharmacies can work with your doctor to create specialized and customized medications that get to the root cause of your allergies.

The two major allergy seasons begin in spring and autumn. These are the times of year that a large number of trees and grasses begin the pollination process. Allergies can flare up in response to all of that pollen, as well as to dust, mildew, and mold spores. The two most common treatments are to avoid whatever is causing the allergic reaction, and to treat it with medication. However neither of these options are ideal, nor often, even possible. After all, it's simply not feasible to stay indoors all the time, and allergy drugs often come with a pile of side effects, including drowsiness, dry and irritated nose and eyes, and an uncomfortable feeling of being either spacey or wired.

Compounding pharmacies, on the other hand, can tailor drug doses to each individual's body weight and tolerance levels in order to mitigate such side effects, making the medication more effective, and lessening side effects. Specialty pharmacies can also create these drugs in just about any delivery system imaginable, including gummies, lozenges, dissolving tablets, sublingual drops and tinctures.

Most allergy medications only treat the symptoms, but some of the treatments offered by compounding pharmacies actually address their underlying causes. In some cases, the treatment contains some of the irritant itself, and is administered to patients in small doses that are increased gradually until a tolerance to the substance that is causing the allergy develops. Many patients have found permanent relief from their allergies this way.

Compounding pharmacies work with doctors and allergists to carefully monitor their patients in order to ensure that each person is getting the correct medications in appropriate amounts in a way that works for them, and that he or she is responding well. This is more care than you will typically get from your neighborhood pharmacy.

If you are in need of a customized prescription for seasonal allergies or other medical issues, author Stephen Daniels recommends Los Angeles Compounding Pharmacy for their professionalism and experience. Their very qualified and licensed staff specializes in this field, and will work with your doctor or dentist to find the best solutions for you.
