For more than 45 years, Solutions, a family-owned pharmacy in
Chattanooga, TN, has been specializing in compounding prescriptions
specifically designed by physicians for patients’ needs.
Deerfield Beach, FL (PRWEB) October 16, 2004 -- Platinum Television
Group is pleased to announce the selection of Solutions Pharmacy for
its innovative, educational television series, Health Forum.
Compounding pharmacies are specialized entities that prepare
selectively prescribed medications on site. They employ
professionally trained pharmacists and technicians to tailor-make
the prescribed specific drugs to properly fit the needs of each
patient. Mass-produced drugs are manufactured in bulk quantities,
not allowing for individual needs, and resulting in a limited number
of strengths, dosages, and few flavors.
For more than 45 years, Solutions, formerly known as Lakeside, a
family-owned pharmacy in Chattanooga, TN, has been specializing in
compounding prescriptions specifically designed by physicians for
patients’ needs. While it used to be just a walk-in neighborhood
drugstore, it is now a worldwide expert in pharmaceutical
compounding, Solutions Pharmacy’s main objective is to prepare
compounded products that exceed the national requirements for purity
and quality, assuring patients and doctors of achieving the maximum
desired results.
Most chain pharmacies fill prescriptions by “counting out pills,”
according to Josh Talley, a Certified pharmacy
technician/Compounding specialist. But Solutions fills specialized
prescriptions from raw powders and medications, so that each order
is custom-made. This enables the pharmacists to fill prescriptions
without additives—for example, without Tylenol, Ibuprofen, etc. that
comes in many pain medications and can be fatal in high doses over
extended periods of time.
Recently, the
American Medical Review named Solutions Pharmacy the nation’s
experts in formulating bio-identical hormones. They also offer
hormonal assessments at their facility. Their innovative staff has
also perfected the art of hormonal implants and is currently the
only pharmacy in the U.S. able to make 3.5mm and 4.5mm fused hormone
pellets. Solutions pharmacy has become one of the most elite
compounding pharmacies in the world due to their constant effort to
improve personal individualized patient care.
Because of its specially trained staff, state-of-the-art equipment,
and medical knowledge, Solutions Pharmacy is able to produce and
provide a variety of personalized compounds specializing in: hormone
replacement therapy for women, male impotency medications,
veterinary formulations, flavoring, pain management, dermatological
lotions, creams, ointments, and gels, discontinued medications,
custom sterile injectables and ophthalmics, unavailable
combinations, and specialized vitamin and herbal combinations. The
high quality of its products has made Solutions the compounding
pharmacy of health advocates like actress Suzanne Somers.
Health Forum will feature Solution Pharmacy’s five decades of
experience in the compounding industry and its work with medical
breakthroughs in a segment on New Age Pharmacies.
