Rock-a-Bye,
Sweet Baby James:
It’s not all horses at Wedgewood! We also provide custom-compounded
human-use preparations for a number of medical conditions including
wet age-related macular degeneration, erectile dysfunction and pre-term
birth prevention. These include 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone
caproate, which is used with women who have a history of pre-term
delivery. |

In September, we were thrilled
to hear about baby James, who was delivered just on time to a grateful
mother who had been treated with 17-P compounded by Wedgewood. The
new mom, who pointed out that her first treatment was on Mother’s
Day, sent this picture and a note to her customer-care representative,
John McKelvey: "Thanks again for all your help and prayers.
We had a good outcome and everyone will be forever grateful to you
for the important role you played in this baby's life." |
