Compounding
Pharmaceutical compounding combines art and science to prepare customized medications for patients. Its practice dates back to the origins of pharmacy, yet the presence of compounding throughout the pharmacy profession has diminished over the years. The pharmacist’s role in preparing medications changed to that of a dispenser of manufactured drugs. Within the last two decades compounding has experienced resurgence, as modern technology and innovative techniques and research have enabled more pharmacists to customize medications to meet specific patient needs. In the simplest terms, we help physicians and patients solve medication problems such as
Awesome Features
Unique medication strengths and combinations
A medication may be available in only a few strengths.
However, a doctor may find that the best dose is not one of those. We can prepare a dose that will contain the correct strength according to the doctor. This will help to avoid adverse effects due to excessive medication but also ensure enough medication to achieve the desired result.
Unique dosage forms
Medications often are available only in tablets or capsules.
We are able to compound a medication in many different forms including oral liquids, suppositories, transdermal gels, creams, ointments, solutions, lozenges, troches, rapid dissolve tablets, popsicles, lip balms, gummy gels, lollipops, and more.
Unavailable medications
Pharmaceutical companies may stop making products that are not economically viable for them, or which there is limited demand.
We can obtain those medications in their chemical form and compound it.
Tasting
Some individuals will not take a medication because of bad taste.
This is especially a problem when it must be taken for several months or years to control a chronic health problem.
We can prepare special dosage forms in over 40 different flavors such as: banana cream, butterscotch, pina colada, cheesecake, grape, english toffee, etc.
Allergies
Commercial medications may contain preservatives, dyes, flavors, and fillers.
If a patient is allergic to any one of these ingredients, taking that medication could result in unpleasant or life-threatening reactions.
We can prepare medications that are free of materials to which a patient is known to be allergic.
Veterinary
Many pets refuse to take medications in their commercially available form.
To solve this problem we can create suspensions, capsules, animal treats, suppositories, and other forms to make the medication more appealing and acceptable to animals.
We specialize in PLO ear gels that allow medication to be absorbed through the ear skin.
Examples of Dosage forms
Capsules
We can reformulate most medications into any desired strength
Lollipops
These are always a good treat for patients who don't like to take medications.
Just specify the flavor!!!
Suppositories
Sometimes the oral route is not possibe due to nausea and vomiting. In such cases, we have to go up the other end. Also, suppositories have a faster onset of action. This is crucial in cases where the medication needs to work fast.
Flavored Suspensions
Flavoring options are limitless; from bubble gum to all kinds of yummy fruit flavors. For pets we even offer popular meat flavors such as Chicken, Fish or Liver
Topical Gels
Some pets are not able to be dosed orally because they can be impossible to handle.
These topical gels allow some medications to be applied onto the inner earflaps and absorbed directly into the bloodstream.
It's pretty cool stuff but it has to be used properly by massaging it into the skin.
Troches
These are good options for when the hormone creams are cumbersom to apply.
Troches are placed under the tongue to let dissolve and the medications they carry are absorbed directly into the bloodstream.
Premeasured Hormonal Creams
These click bottles allow us to deliver topical hormonal creams precisely.
They allow for adjustments of dose with just a click fo the knob.
