Compounding
What is Compounding
Compounding is the customized preparation of a medicine that is not otherwise commercially available. These medications are prescribed by a physician, veterinarian, or other prescribing practitioner, and compounded by a state-licensed pharmacist. A growing number of people and animals have unique health needs that off-the-shelf, one-size-fits-all prescription medicines cannot meet. For them, customized medications are the only way to better health. At Quality Drug we have years of experience compounding specialized medications. Our staff routinely undergoes additional training to maintain our PCCA certification. You can trust that you are receiving highest quality medical care with our team of caring and knowledgeable pharmacists.
Why is Compounding Important
Compounded medications fill a void left by drug companies who produce medicines in strengths and forms that are not right for every patient, or sometimes discontinue medicines because they are not in high enough demand to be profitable medicines that many patients still rely on.
Who Needs Compounded Medicine
Many different kinds of patients rely on compounded medications to treat their conditions, including:
-
patients suffering from hormone imbalance who take bio-identical hormone replacement therapy
-
patients with thyroid disorders
-
children who need their medications specially flavored to make them easier to take
-
patients needing customized vitamin combinations
-
patients who are unable to take medications orally and need compounded ointments or solutions
-
cancer patients whose chemotherapy treatments are precisely designed for their specific needs
-
animals whose unique needs are unmet by manufactured pharmaceuticals
-
patients taking multiple drugs who can take them more easily when compounded into a single dose, including hospice patients taking multiple pain management medications
-
patients who are allergic to fillers such as gluten, dairy and soy, binding agents, preservatives and other ingredients in off-the-shelf medications.
