At Good Neighbor Pharmacy®, we are committed to providing you with medications that meet your unique health needs. Sometimes, patients require medications to be blended in a specific way. This process is referred to as compounding and it is necessary for a variety of reasons, including:
- To change the form of a medication from a pill to a liquid, or gel.
- To prevent an allergic reaction by removing a non-essential ingredient such as dyes, sugar, lactose, or alcohol.
- To provide a specific dosage of a particular ingredient.
- To add flavor to a medication that is otherwise difficult for a patient to ingest.
Veterinary Compounding
The practice of compounding is becoming a popular solution to veterinary problems. Your pharmacist can provide specialized prescription services to veterinarians in the treatment of almost all animals. Exotic pets, horses, dogs, cats and zoo animals may all require medication at some point and our pharmacists can assist veterinarians in offering dosages that are patient-specific in strength and formulation. Compounding can also make medicating animals easier, as the medications can be prepared in the form of flavored chews or capsules that animals accept readily.
When you have a need for compounded medication, trust the experts at your local Good Neighbor Pharmacy to provide the appropriate medication in the form, dosage and formula of ingredients that’s right for you.
