Murrayville Pharmacy specializes in re-making
discontinued medicines and creating new dosage forms for
patients, physicians, and medical researchers. Our
pharmacists use state-of-the-art technology with approved
chemicals so that your finished medication meets the
doctor's exact specifications. Murrayville pharmacists
have attended post-graduate training seminars so they know
the newest compounding techniques.
We can compound practically
any medication. From topical creams and lozenges to
veterinary medications to impotence injections prepared in
a "clean room", your prescriptions will be prepared
individually by an experienced Compounding Pharmacist.
Rationale
For Compounding:
 |
Strengths
not commercially available. Compounding assures all
patients that they can have the precise dose they need.
|
|
Form not
commercially available. Compounding allows the best
drug delivery system options for patient and physician.
Oral, injection, suppository, or transdermal routes are
all possible. Also, compounding provides drugs not
currently manufactured or in dosage forms not currently
available. |
|
Improve
or eliminate undesirable flavors. Increase patient
compliance - especially finicky children - by
substituting custom-made flavors the kids (and adults)
really love! |
|
Change
the usual route of administration. We can alter
traditional routes of delivery. For instance, a flavored
sublingual lozenge for a hard-to-swallow pill. Or a
transdermal cream in place of injections. The
possibilities are almost endless! |
|
Eliminate
preservatives, dyes, and potential allergens. Folks
with asthma or hyperallergenic patients will benefit
from prescriptions that are compounded preservative-free
or dye-free or use alternative "fillers." |
|
Sugar
intolerance. Compounded syrups with non-caloric
sweeteners help diabetics control blood glucose.
|
|
Discontinued drugs. Occasionally, drug companies
discontinue production of effective drugs which are no
longer profitable to them. If this happens, we can many
times duplicate that formula. |
