Compounding is the art and science of preparing customized
medications to fit the unique needs of an individual patient.
Doctors often prescribe
compounded medicines for patients with health needs that cannot be met by
mass produced commercial medications. Compounded prescriptions may be a
treatment option for…
·
Infants requiring smaller
doses in a liquid form rather than a tablet / capsule or flavoring to
improve the taste of a medication.
·
Patients in pain who cannot
tolerate the side effects of oral pain relievers or who want to target the
area being treated by using a compounded topical pain gel.
·
Patients
with allergies to certain ingredients in manufactured drugs.
·
Patients interested in
customized Bioidentical Hormone Therapy.
·
Veterinary medicine.
·
Hospice patients.
·
Patients who need drugs that
have been discontinued by pharmaceutical manufacturers because of low
profitability.
·
And many more!
