What is compounding?
What this means is, when mass-produced medicines place limitations on a
patient's drug therapy, a compounding pharmacist can use his/her expertise to
produce a unique product, tailored to the patient's needs. It can be as simple
as reformulating products to deliver medication(s) in specific concentrations
and combinations otherwise unavailable, or changing the route of administation.
For example, some patient's are unable to take medications orally and need to
have their medicine converted into transdermal gels or rectal suppositories.
How compounding can
benefit you. Today, compounding pharmacists have access to more medications,
more technology and more research data than ever before. Because of this, they
are able to provide endless choices to patients and their physicians. Multiple
active ingredients can be combined to make dosing regimens simpler or to treat
complicated conditions from more than one therapeutic approach. To accommodate
specific patient needs, medications can also be formulated into unique dosage
forms like transdermal gels, oral liquids, and more. Since each product is
individually formulated, the doctor and patient can specify strengths, flavors,
colors, sizes, and add or remove inactive ingredients.
