Beyond pills and creams: Personalised Relief with Compounded Amphotericin B Suppositories

Patients with stubborn, localised fungal infections often find it difficult to get relief. Standard oral antifungals may cause systemic side effects, and creams don’t always have enough penetration. Allure Compounding Pharmacy uniquely provides an effective solution by custom formulating high-quality Amphotericin B suppositories, bringing powerful therapy to the specific area of need.

Physicians commonly use Amphotericin B, a very strong antifungal agent, to treat very severe systemic infections. However, the power of Amphotericin B can be used locally to treat a variety of different conditions. Our compounding pharmacists prepare amphotericin B as vaginal or rectal suppositories for patients by compounding the drug into a customised form. The medication is applied directly to the infection site, allowing for high concentrations of the medication at the site of infection with very little systemic absorption. Each suppository is customised to each individual patient using precise compounding techniques, including tailoring the dose, size, and base, to fit the patient’s particular prescription and anatomical needs.

What is a compounded suppository and how is it different from other suppository forms? The difference is that compounded suppositories are made specifically for a patient based on their individual needs, making them a much better option than traditional medications.

In cases where traditional antifungal medications do not work for a woman, compounded suppositories may be the best course of action. With Amphotericin B compounded suppositories, the antifungal agent is applied directly to the vaginal mucosa where the yeast infection occurs. This provides a much more concentrated dose of the antifungal agent to the exact location of the infection than would be possible with an oral antifungal medication.

In addition, exacerbations of fungal infections can occur when taking oral antifungal medications; however, there is little risk of systemic side effects associated with using a compounded suppository. This greatly reduces the chances of experiencing the type of side effects that may occur with IV administration of the antifungal medication.

A prescription by your physician for a specialized antifungal product is how this process begins. Upon receiving your specific prescription for Amphotericin B in suppository form from your prescriber, our pharmacists will proceed with the prescribed medications in our modern aseptic environment. The pharmacists will carefully identify and weigh the highest quality API for making your suppository with precision according to FDA standards. In creating your customized gh suppository formulation, pharmacists will determine which suppository vehicle—either slow-release cocoa butter or water-soluble polyethylene glycol—works best with the specific formulation to maintain or enhance stability while maximizing patient comfort and therapeutic effectiveness.

Every batch undergoes rigorous documentation and quality checks. We follow stringent USP <795> guidelines for non-sterile compounding to ensure you receive a consistent, potent, and stable medication. Our commitment extends beyond preparation. We provide clear, detailed instructions on proper storage, handling, and insertion techniques to maximize the therapy’s success.

At Allure Compounding Pharmacy, we believe in solutions that fit the patient, not the other way around. We empower prescribers with a versatile tool to address challenging fungal cases and empower you with a comfortable, direct treatment. If you and your doctor are seeking a focused strategy against a persistent localized fungal infection, ask about the potential of custom-compounded Amphotericin B suppositories.

The FDA does not review any compounded drugs to evaluate their safety, effectiveness, or quality before they reach patients.
