What Are Compounded Prescriptions?
Compounded prescriptions are customized medication formulations prepared by our pharmacists to suit the unique needs of a patient. Unlike standard medications, compounded prescriptions can vary in strength, dosage form, flavour, and exclude potential allergens, providing solutions for patients with specific health conditions, allergies, or preferences.
What Do Compounding Pharmacists Do?
Compounding pharmacists at Pace Pharmacy play a critical role in personalized medicine. They prepare custom medications by altering, combining, or creating a pharmaceutical product to fit the unique needs of a patient. This process involves carefully selecting the active and inactive ingredients and utilizing specialized techniques to ensure the final product meets the prescribed requirements for efficacy, safety, and patient acceptance.
Does a Compounding Pharmacist Have Special Training?
Yes, compounding pharmacists undergo special training beyond traditional pharmacy education. This training equips them with the knowledge and skills required to prepare compounded medications safely and effectively. They learn about the chemistry of compounding, the use of specialized equipment, and the regulations governing compounded medications, ensuring they can provide high-quality, personalized care to each patient.
Which Prescriptions Shouldn't Be Compounded?
Not all medications should be compounded. Certain drugs, particularly those requiring complex manufacturing processes or those with narrow therapeutic indices, are best left to large-scale manufacturers due to the precision required in their formulation. At Pace Pharmacy, we adhere to strict guidelines to determine which prescriptions can be safely compounded, prioritizing patient safety and treatment efficacy.
