| What is Compounding? |
| |
| Compounding combines an ageless
art with the latest medical knowledge and state-of-the-art
technology, allowing specially trained professionals
to prepare customized medications to meet each patient’s
specific needs. Compounding is fundamental to the
profession of pharmacy and was a standard means
of providing prescription medications before drugs
began to be produced in mass quantities by pharmaceutical
manufacturers. The demand for professional compounding
has increased as healthcare professionals and patients
realize that the limited number of strengths and
dosage forms that are commercially available do
not meet the needs of many patients, and that these
patients often have a better response to a customized
dosage form that is "just what the doctor ordered". |
| |
| Our compounding professionals can prepare |
| |
|
| • |
unique dosage
forms containing the best dose of medication
for each individual. |
| • |
medications in dosage forms
that are not commercially available, such
as transdermal |
| • |
gels, troches, "chewies",
and lollipops. |
| • |
medications free of problem-causing
excipients such as dyes, sugar, lactose, or
alcohol. |
| • |
combinations of various
compatible medications into a single dosage
form for easier administration and improved
compliance. |
| • |
medications that are not
commercially available. |
