Compounded prescriptions are a great way to help to personalize your medications to meet your specific medical needs. Lollipops in particular are a unique dosage form designed to keep medications localized in the mouth. This helps to alleviate pain from canker sores, a sore throat, or radiation induced ulcers. Lidocaine or tetracaine are often used to help relieve mouth sore pain and irritation.

In addition to lidocaine and tetracaine, phentermine can also be compounded in a lollipop dosage form. Phentermine is a medication used to help promote weight loss and this delivery system is a unique way to make weight loss more fun.
