Autoimmune disorders occur when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells and tissues, leading to inflammation and tissue damage.

​

Autoimmune disorders include: 

• Lupus

• Fibromyalgia

• Colitis

​​

Treatment for autoimmune disorders often involves medications that suppress the immune system or reduce inflammation. Santa Ana - Tustin Pharmacy can create customized formulations of these medications, which may include different dosages or combinations of medications than what is available commercially. This can be particularly helpful for patients who do not respond well to traditional treatments or who experience side effects. For example, our pharmacist may be able to create a topical cream or ointment that contains a combination of medications that can be applied directly to the affected area to reduce inflammation and pain. Alternatively, we may be able to create a customized capsule or tablet that contains a combination of medications that can be taken orally. Additionally, some autoimmune disorders may require long-term treatment with medications that have significant side effects. In these cases, we may be able to create a medication that is designed to be more easily absorbed by the body or that contains fewer allergens or irritants.
