Nationally Accredited Compounding Pharmacy Opens Second Location to Better Serve the Midwest

Dec. 20, 2011 - PRLog -- Continuing to answer the growing demand for access to alternative healthcare options, Health Dimensions Pharmacy opened its 2nd location in December of 2011. The new 1,700-square-foot location – Health Dimension’s first in Canton, MI - is located at 6200 North Haggerty Rd Ste 300, inside the PRIZM medical center, near IKEA . The experienced professional team at Health Dimensions Canton is specially trained to provide custom compounded medications and menopause consulting services.

Pharmacy compounding is the customized preparation of a medicine that is not otherwise  commercially available. These medications are prescribed by a physician, veterinarian, or other prescribing practitioner, and are compounded by a state-licensed pharmacist. Before the advent of  manufacturing, all medications were custom prepared. Today, custom compounding is done to meet special medication needs or to solve medication problems.

Examples of compounding for special needs include: removal of allergenic ingredients, conversion of solid medications to liquid or topical delivery, flavoring, combining medications, or providing medications that are not available from the manufacturer.

“We are excited to join the Canton community and share the Health Dimensions difference with more residents in the area,” said Scott Popyk, president and CEO of Health Dimensions. “Our distinctive pharmacy provides customers with an opportunity to manage their own health through traditional pharmacy offerings, compounded therapies, nutritional products and professional consulting services.”

“Times are changing rapidly -- not only in the business world, but within the health-care field,” Popyk said. “Our region is seeing pharmacies, both independent and chain, close their doors. I have made a promise to serve the community, providing exceptional pharmacy services and careers that employees can count on.”

Health Dimensions Compounding Pharmacy first opened in 1996 and is the leading accredited compounding pharmacy in the Midwest, providing more than 5,000 physicians with compounds for their human and veterinary patients.  

Health Dimensions customers develop relationships with the licensed pharmacists and other  highly qualified staff as they learn about the variety of health care options available to them.
