Compounding
Compounding is the art of preparing custom medications beyond what is described on the drug label. It is a relationship between the patient, physician, and pharmacist to provide a solution when current treatment options do not adequately suit specific patient needs. At Panacea Compounding Pharmacy we use state-of-art technology to offer personalized compounds for adults, children and animals in a variety of strengths and dosage forms. We have access to many formulations and use third party tested ingredients to ensure you receive the highest quality medications.
Benefits of Compounding
Multiple compatible ingredients may be combined into a single dosage form for convenience and help increase medication adherence.
Flavoring a medication in order to make it more palatable.
Taking medication in new dosage forms can significantly reduce side effects including nausea, stomach ulcers and drowsiness.
Producing commercially unavailable, backordered or discontinued medications.
If allergic or intolerant to specific ingredients, compounds can be made without dyes, fillers, sugar, alcohol, preservatives, lactose and gelatin.
Changing dosage forms into capsules, rapid dissolvable tablets, sublingual troches/lozenges, gummies, lollipops, solutions, emulsions and suspensions, creams, ointments, transdermal gels, suppositories, dental formulations and chewable treats.
