What is a compounding pharmacy? The practice of compounding medication dates back to the origins of pharmacy and Panorama Compounding Pharmacy is proud to be one of the few “Compounding Only” pharmacies in the United States. Compounding is the art and science of preparing customized medications. Although the mass-marketed and mass-produced drugs meet the needs of most patients, there are still a number of people who require a compounded medication. Unique medical problems can be solved through the triad relationship of patient, physician and compounding pharmacist.
Helping one patient at a time. There are many ways that a compounding pharmacy can help healthcare providers and their patients. Some people are allergic to dyes and preservatives, or they might need a strength or dosage different from what is commercially available. With a prescription from your healthcare provider, a compounding pharmacist can prepare a customized medication specifically for you. There are also a number of discontinued medications that can be compounded if needed. Children may require a medication that only is available in an adult strength and a compounding pharmacist can prepare the needed strength while also flavoring it to the child’s liking. Some people have a hard time swallowing medications or suffer from unwanted side effects. A transdermal gel can alleviate some of these problems especially in the case of pain medications. The most well known part of compounding seems to be “Customized Hormone Replacement” for both women and men. Panorama Compounding Pharmacy has specialized in this practice for many years and our pharmacist, Elaine Blieden, lectures on this topic for both healthcare providers and their patients. Please also know that humans are not the only ones who can be assisted by compounding. Many veterinarians use a compounding pharmacy for unique problems that your pet may have.
