 Our goal is to produce an "overall better outcome for each individual patient" and to quickly and efficiently get the patient the medication they were prescribed. Compounding allows a medical practitioner to prescribe and a pharmacist to prepare a customized medication that is not available commercially, or to place an available medication in a different dosage form to meet a specific patient need and improve compliance. When an individual is unable to take or use a commercial medicine, costly problems may occur - such as unavoidable physician and emergency room visits, hospital admissions, and lost time from school or work. We reduce this waste and improve our patient's quality of life by compounding prescriptions - making medicines into forms that people can use. We help doctors solve these problems. Dose Unavailable A powerful medicine may be available only in 25mg and 50mg capsules. Yet, a doctor may find that the best dose is 40mg. We can prepare a dosage form that will contain exactly this amount. The patient doesn't have to take too much medicine, which is wasteful and could caue adverse efffects, or too little medicine, which could be ineffective. Dosage Form Unavailable Medicines often are available in only tablets or capsules. but infants and individuals who have difficulty swallowing may need a liquid, suppository, or other dosage form. We can compound these dosage forms to contain the medicines people need. Medicine Unavailable Pharmaceutical companies may stop making products for which there is a limited demand. And limited demand is likely to occur when a newer and, sometimes, more effective medicine comes into the market. However, some patients may respond better to a discontinued medicine than to its newer counterpart. If we can obtain the medicine in its chemical form, we can compound a prescription to contain the amount of medicine in the discontinued product. Medicine Tastes Bad Each commercial product usually is available in only one flavor. Some children and adults will find that flavor to be disagreeable. And some individuals will not take a medicine because of the bad taste. This is a special problem when a medicine must be taken for several months or years to control a chronic health problem. We can prepare dosage forms in flavors that people like, can vary the flavor from time to time, and usually can mask any unpleasant aftertaste. Known Allergy Commercial medicines may contain flavors, preservatives, dyes, binders, and/or excipients. If a patient is allergic to any of these ingredients, taking or using that medicine could result in an unpleasant or life- threatening consequences. We can prepare medicines that are free of materials to which a patient is known to be allergic. Inconvenient To Use A patient may have a skin problem that does not respond to a single-ingredient prescription cream. The physician may want that patient also to use two other skin preparations. But using three medicines from three containers tends to be inconvenient and costly. We can compound all three medicines into a base that contains the needed concentration of each - a medicine that is much more convenient to use We work with other health proffessionals to improve outcomes of drug therapy and reduce overall health care costs. You name it - We can compound it! featuring:
