Compounding is the preparation of a customized medication to solve a problem or meet a specific patient need. Compounding pharmacists work with practitioners and their patients to determine the most appropriate therapy for each individual.
For example, if an elderly patient or small child needs a reduced strength of medication or is unable to swallow a tablet, we can compound a pleasantly flavored liquid that can be easily administered. Sometimes we can prepare dosage forms containing more than one medication to simplify a confusing schedule and reduce the potential for medication errors. If you have problems giving medicine to your pets, we can help by compounding the drug into a form and flavor that the animal will devour!
