Compounded Medicines

Compounded medicines are those that are made for a certain patient. One reason for this is that drugs may only be available in certain forms. A child may need a medicine that is only made in a pill, but be unable to swallow pills. The pharmacy could make the pills into a liquid for them, and even add a flavor. This can be helpful to get kids the medicines they need.

Another reason to make a medicine would be for patients that have allergies. The drug can be made without the ingredient that the person is allergic to.

Pet medicines are another huge part. If someone has a small animal, they may need to have a small strength of drug made that isn’t sold. Some people may also find it easier to give their pets a liquid instead of a pill. Also, flavors such as chicken and beef can be added to make it easier to give to the pet.

Overall, we want to make a medicine that the patient can easily take to have good health. The easier it is to take, the more likely the patient is to actually take it. Come to St. Louis Hills Pharmacy for all of your compounding needs.
