Compounding What is compounding? Compounding is a true art, finding ways to make medication easier for the patient to take. It is making medication in different dosage strengths and forms when one is not commercially available or the patient can not take it by the manufactures vehicle method. It is working with your physician to find the best possible way to help you achieve the best health possible. Compounding is problem-solving method for the patient and their physician.. Why would I need something compounding? Compounding needs would be: * When drugs are not commercially available. * When a drug needs to be customized for the customer's individual needs. * When a special drug dose or strength is needed. * When it is not affordable for a manufacturer to make a drug. * A flavor can be added to any medication. What problems can compounding solve? Here are some examples: * A child will not take their antibiotic because they do not like the taste. We can flavor their antibiotics. * Your pet will not take their thyroid tablet or other medication. We can make the medication in a topical gel that is applied to their inner ear flap. * You have liver damage and can't take medications by mouth. We will put it in a cream and it will by-pass the liver. * You're pregnant and progesterone levels do not remain high enough to maintain the pregnancy, we will make you a progesterone troche or suppository. * You are in great pain from a back injury and can not function with out your pain pills but then can't drive or work if you take pain pills.
