How Compounding Pharmacies Help Physicians and Veterinarians

At Kress Specialized Apothecary, we pride ourselves on helping our patients fill their prescriptions in the ways that make the most sense for them as an individual. As a compounding pharmacy, we have much greater flexibility in the ways to fulfill these tasks, a flexibility that is a great boon for provider and patient alike. Compounding pharmacies are an alternative to the standard, and can work particularly well for physicians who take their patients’ unique needs into account. Here are a few ways in which we can be a support system to physicians and vets alike.

More Freedom in Filling Prescriptions. At a compounding pharmacy, you will be able to tailor your medication prescriptions directly to the individual who you are treating at any given time. You can change the dosage and delivery method depending on the needs of the particular case, tailoring them specifically for any manner of cases.

Range in Skills. There is a wide spectrum of tasks that compounding pharmacies are able to undertake: everything from changing a medication from a solid to a liquid, adjusting the flavor or taste, to building creams and sprays of particular medications for at-risk patients with prior conditions the doctor has identified.

Beyond the Box. If a particular medicine usually comes in a fixed dosage or method of delivery that doesn’t work for your patients, we can get past that at Kress Apothecary by making custom dosages and changing delivery methods. This is great for children or those who have difficulty swallowing pills, and can help to ease the headaches (figuratively and literally!) of patients used to fighting with the system to get their medications. Even if a medication is no longer commercially available, there is the possibility that a compounding pharmacy such as Kress will be able to supply that for you.

Specialty Medications. There’s nothing worse than needing to find an alternative, less effective medication because a patient cannot take the preferred medication because of something like a dye or preservative that’s not essential to the pill itself. With a compounding pharmacy, you will have the freedom to create a specialty medication that gets the correct medicine to your patient without a minor allergen getting in the way of their healing.

Think past the drug manufacturers for your patients and make sure that they get the exact care you intend by working with a compounding pharmacy. We have the ability to compound non-sterile products, and work with many physicians to get the standard of pharmaceutical care just what they have always wanted.
