Pharmaceutical compounding can enhance any physician’s practice. You can improve upon patient compliance and outcome by taking the time to understand your patient’s needs, and combining your skills with those of our compounding pharmacists to develop products for the specific needs of your patients.

Each patient is an individual so why should one drug fit all. Each individual’s reaction to a particular medicinal substance (natural or synthetic) is different. Difficult-to-predict factors include fast-versus-slow metabolism, bioavailability, side effects, and cellular transport. This biochemical individuality can pose difficult barriers to appropriate prescribing. Compounding allows you to respond to each person’s uniqueness in an individualized way.

No longer are you limited to "standard" medicine. Your choices now include new routes of administration, dosage strengths, pharmaceutical combinations and the ability to develop new, potentially helpful compounds. Medicine can be as large as your imagination will allow.

Familiar medications may be used in novel combinations and administration routes. Natural medications may be combined with commercial pharmaceuticals. With your imagination and our consulting pharmacists’ expertise, we can prepare a broad range of drugs for office dispensing or patient prescription.

During the patient counseling session, our pharmacists will emphasize that you have prescribed a custom compounded medication to treat their unique medical requirements. This can be a powerful message to the patient; the physician and pharmacist view this person as an individual with individual medication requirements. As patient response rates increase, so will their sense of well-being. Satisfied patients always seem to find a way to "spread the word" of your ability to listen and help.

Our Pharmacists would be happy to discuss formulations and answer any other questions you may have.
