Frequently Asked Questions
When an individual is unable to take or use a commercial medicine, costly problems may occur - such as avoidable physician and emergency room visits, hospital admissions, and lost time from school or work. We reduce this waste and improve our patients' quality of life by compounding prescriptions - making medicines into forms that people can use. We help doctors solve these problems:
- Dose Unavailable
A powerful medicine may be available only in 25 mg and 50 mg capsules. Yet, a doctor may find that the best dose is 40 mg. We can prepare a dosage form that will contain exactly this amount. The patient doesn't have to take too much medicine, which is wasteful and could cause adverse effects, or too little medicine, which could be ineffective.
- Dosage Form Unavailable
Medicines often are available only in tablets or capsules. But infants and individuals who have difficulty swallowing may need a liquid, suppository, or other dosage form. We can compound these dosage forms to contain the medicines people need.
- Medicine Unavailable
Pharmaceutical companies may stop making products for which there is limited demand. A limited demand is likely to occur when a newer medicine comes into the market. However, some patients may respond better to the discontinued medicine than to its newer counterpart. If we can obtain the medicine in its chemical form, we can compound the discontinued medication.
