Compounding custom
medicines
What is compounding?
Compounding is the age old art
of preparing medicine to meet each patient's unique needs. Reformulating
medication by adding flavor is just one example of pharmacy compounding. Our
pharmacists have also received extensive training in preparation of unique
dosage forms.
Our patients and prescribers
are no longer limited to the strength , dosage form and flavor of mass produced
medications. Customized preparations allow for removal of problem causing
additives; for example, we can compound medicines that are:
- Preservative Free
- Dye Free
- Lactose Free
- Sugar Free
- Alcohol Free
A compounding pharmacist can
make it easier to take your medicine. And- improved compliance decreases the
overall cost of medical care. We can help with:
- Hard to find or unavailable
medications
- Combination preparations
- Novel dosage forms
- Change in route of
administration
How can we help YOU today?
Recently our staff has completed extensive
training courses at the Professional Compounding Center of America!
Pick your favorite flavor!
We have a choice of many
flavors and colors to match. Our pharmacists understand that each patient has
special needs, and unique likes and dislikes.
That is why we provide our
customized medications. We want to make it easy for everyone- children, adults,
and even animals- to take needed medications as directed.
Giving medication to children
does not have to be a battle - let your child choose watermelon, root beer,
grape or raspberry!
Working together with your
doctor, we can even change the dosage form - from a liquid to a "
Gummy Bear", lollipop, freezer pop, or lozenge!
Many times, as people age or
develop a chronic illness, their taste preferences can change.\Sweetness may no
longer be tolerable. Coffee or bitter flavors - or perhaps no flavor at all -
may be more pleasing.
We compound dosage forms that
make it easier to take medication while at school or traveling - such as
chewable troches or lozenges that will not require refrigeration!
