The Art and Science of Individualized Pharmaceutical Care
While working with your practitioner, a compounding pharmacist can customize nearly any prescription medication to suit your individual needs. The possibilities are nearly limitless! Remember – compounded medications are dispensed only with a written prescription from a licensed practitioner.
Some examples of where compounding is beneficial include:
V
eterinary
Adding a flavor often helps when orally dosing a finicky animal — eliminating undue trauma to pet and owner. And when an oral medication just won’t do, many drugs can be compounded into a trans-dermal gel. Imagine giving your animal a soothing ear rub while administering its prescription! Also, dosage adjustments can be important when dealing with a tiny animal like a small bird or a large animal like a horse. (Veterinary compounds, remember, are not intended for use in food animals.)
Pediatrics
Flavorings help here, too. Avoid those squished-up faces when you give an “icky” medicine! Many times manufactured medications are not made with little ones in mind. Sometimes a child needs a dose adjusted for height/weight proportion. Not too weak, not too strong . . . just right! In addition, compounding pharmacists can often change the delivery method to something more fun like a syrup, a lollipop, or a freeze pop.
Pain Management
For acute and chronic pain, patients might benefit from various compounds such as topical pain-relieving gels. The gels can work at the site of action, often preventing side effects such as gastrointestinal upsets, because they are not taken orally.
