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.
