Compounding Services
CORE Pharmacy is the first compounding-specialty pharmacy in southern Illinois. We have been focusing on quality compounding for over 15 years. Compounding is a great solution for people that are unable to take commercially manufactured medications.
Dating back to the ancient Egyptians, compounding is the combination of one or more ingredients to provide a dosage form that is not readily manufactured for the personalized treatment of a particular patient ailment.
CORE Pharmacy's compounding services also include consultations to discuss and create actions plans for patient issues, custom supplements and medication counseling.

Andropause & Low Testosterone
What is It?
A commmon misconception is that females are the only ones that go through "the change" during their 40's and 50's, However, studies show that 70% of the general public believes that men experience a mid-life stage similar to menopause in women. When these mid-life stages affect women they experience physical symptoms that are very noticeable and last anywhere from months to 5 years, where men experience subtle changes over a longer period of time (anywhere from 10-15 years).
