The Compounding Base Your Patients Will Actually Use
FoamaDerm® was designed by pharmacists, for pharmacists — because effective compounding starts with the right base.
The Problem We Solved
Many compounding bases for topical NSAIDs are oily, sticky, and difficult for patients to apply. Over years of practice, our pharmacist founders heard the same feedback repeatedly: patients weren't using their compounded topicals consistently — not because the drug didn't work, but because the base made compliance difficult.
FoamaDerm® changes that. A water-based, nanotechnology-enhanced foam base that's easy to compound, easy to dispense, and — critically — easy for patients to use every day.
