Gastroenterology (GI) and Daily Life

Digestive problems, inflammatory conditions, autoimmune disease, and rectal discomfort can significantly impact your daily life. We understand the discomfort and frustration associated with conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), ulcerative colitis (UC), acid reflux, anal fissure, and constipation. Our compounding services offer a personalized approach to addressing your specific GI needs.

You have the option to pick-up your prescription at our pharmacy location in Scottsdale, Arizona, or you may have your prescription shipped directly to your home. Our customer service team is happy to review the different shipping options depending on how quickly you would like to receive the prescription once it is ready.

If you are picking up your prescription at the pharmacy, you will receive a text and/or call once the final quality checks are performed by one of our pharmacists. If you are having your prescription shipped to you, and provided an email address, our systems will send you tracking information when the label is created and provided to the third-party carrier.
All compounded medications do require a prescription from your provider. Providers may phone, fax, electronically send via electronic medical records system (EMR), or provide you a hand written prescription. If possible and in-order to best streamline your experience, we recommend having your provider send the prescription directly to our pharmacy. Avrio does offer some (non-prescription) over-the-counter vitamins, supplements, medications, and supplies that we can include with your order as requested.
Ask your provider to send your compounded medication prescription to Avrio Pharmacy. The provider may phone, fax, or electronically send (via electronic medical records system (EMR)) the prescription. Once we receive the prescription, our team will create your patient profile and contact you directly for next steps. If you have any additional questions, our customer service team will be more than happy to help.
