What is compounding?

What is compounding?

Pharmacy compounding is the art and science of preparing customized medications for patients. Its practice dates back to the origins of pharmacy. It declined in the 1950s and ‘60s as the pharmacist’s role quickly changed from a preparer of medications to a dispenser of mass-manufactured products. However, this “one-size-fits-all” approach to medication meant that some patients’ needs were unmet. Within the last few decades, compounding has experienced a renaissance, as modern technology, innovative techniques and new research have allowed more pharmacists to customize medications to meet a patient’s unique needs.

Compounding offers personalized pain relief.

The Compounding Solution:
Compounding is the preparation of customized medication. It provides valuable benefits to many patients, including those for whom dealing with chronic pain has become a way of life. Because it’s personalized to the specific patient, compounded medication can treat symptoms while avoiding certain side effects. By working with a compounding pharmacist, your physician can prescribe treatments tailored specifically for your pain management needs.
Alternative Dosage Forms:
Some have difficulty taking pain medications in their commercially available forms due to stomach irritation or other side effects. Compounding can provide alternative methods of delivery to make the process easier. Instead of a capsule or tablet, a topical gel, cream or spray can be compounded to be applied directly to the site of the pain and absorbed through the skin. Also, dosage forms like nasal sprays, custom-flavored troches that dissolve under the tongue or suppositories are alternative possibilities more

Pharmacy compounding may help improve a patient’s quality of life. These dosage forms bypass the gastrointestinal tract, helping patients with stomach irritation as well as those who have difficulty swallowing pills. In some cases, these delivery methods may allow for a smaller dose of the drug to be taken, which can reduce side effects like dizziness and drowsiness.
Combination Therapy
Some chronic pain sufferers, such as patients with fibromyalgia, are placed on a variety of medications – which means taking multiple drugs. Compounding can make it possible for these patients to get all their medications in a single preparation, which is much more convenient.


Strength Variations
Because patients vary in size, symptoms and pain tolerance, commercially available medications sometimes may not provide the appropriate dosage strength for an individual patient. Through compounding, a physician and pharmacist can customize the dosage to the exact amount the patient requires, and find a dosage form that best suits the patient’s needs. Pain can be debilitating, whether it’s acute muscle or nerve pain resulting from an accident, or a chronic condition such as arthritis or fibromyalgia. Pharmacy compounding may help improve a patient’s quality of life by providing relief with potentially fewer side effects and less overall medication.

Dermatology Compounding

It can be challenging to find the right solution for skin concerns. Many skin care products can leave undesirable side effects such as drying, thinning, redness, peeling and irritated skin. Compounding enables personalized medications to be customized to the patient’s needs by carefully selecting the right moisturizing agents, non-irritating bases and hypoallergenic products to treat your concerns based on your skin type. Compounding solutions for dermatological concerns come most often in the form of serums, creams, ointments, gels, sprays, foams and shampoos.

Hormone Imbalance

A hormonal imbalance can affect more than your mood – it can be responsible for a number of related health concerns, including:

Women

Hot flashes
Night sweats
PMS
Weight gain
Post-partum depression
Irregular menstrual cycle
Infertility
Fibrocystic breasts
Decreased libido
Painful intercourse
Vaginal dryness

Men

Decreased libido
Decreased muscle mass
Decreased strength
Decreased Stamina
Erectile Dysfunction
Sleep Disorders
Depression and Anxiety

Commercially available hormone supplements offer limited relief. They are mass-produced, one-size-fits-all variety and do not consider the patient’s individual needs. Pharmore Pharmacy specializes in preparing a variety of custom hormone medication for our patients. Working with your physician our pharmacist can tailor your prescription to the exact strength you require, and make it in a dosage form that is easy for you to use. more

These conditions affect millions of women. As the number of women seeking hormone-related treatment has grown, so has the mass production of pills, patches and creams by the drug industry. Each woman’s body is different and has its own unique needs, but commercially manufactured products tend to be “one size fits all,” and they do not always account for the differences between individuals.
The Compounding Advantage
Pharmacy compounding is the preparation of customized medications for patients. The advantage of compounded hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is that it can be adapted specifically to fit each individual’s body and hormone levels. Bio-identical hormones have the exact chemical structure as the hormones in the human body. The body recognizes them and allows them to mimic the function of the hormones the body produces on its own.

No two women are alike, and compounding pharmacists understand this.
A pharmacist experienced in HRT can assist a health care provider in interpreting the results of tests that measure a patient’s hormone levels. The health care provider, compounding pharmacist and patient can then determine a course of treatment that will give the patient the exact amount of hormones her body needs. Working closely with the patient and her health care provider, a compounding pharmacist can help her start and maintain a hormonereplacement regimen that brings her hormones back into balance and closely mimics what her body has been doing naturally for years. With a health care provider’s prescription, the pharmacist can prepare hormones in a variety of strengths and dosage forms. Thanks to compounding, there are customized hormone prescriptions to meet your specific needs. And that’s power of personalized medicine.

Pediatric Compounding

As healthcare providers we know the medication is only effective when it is actually taken by the patients. For parents, administering medication to your child can be a real challenge. At Pharmore Pharmacy we can eliminate the stress of administering pediatric medication by modifying dosage forms

Good Taste
Compounding is ideal for pets that won’t take medication because of the taste. Cats don’t like pills, but they do like tuna. Dogs aren’t wild about medication being squirted into their mouths, but they’ll take it gladly when it’s meat-flavored or part of a tasty biscuit or treat. Birds can’t take large volumes of liquid medication, but they’ll open wide for a small dose of a tasty, fruit-flavored, concentrated solution.
