The Best Drug Delivery
System Options For Patient & Physician!
Compounding
is once again becoming an essential skill of the
dedicated pharmacist.
Due to the large scale manufacturing of prescription
medications, this essential aspect of pharmacy that
enables fulfilling individual needs was all but
forgotten.
Our specially
trained staff combined with a state of the art
compounding lab enables Carrollwood Compounding Center
to be able to offer the unique advantages of a
compounding pharmacy to the most important people we
know, YOU, our friends and patients.
While the industry is geared for the needs of the
masses, we at Carrollwood Pharmacy are committed to
individuals. Our staff is eager to work with you
and your physician to insure that the medication you
require is tailored to your specific needs.
Some of the advantages compounding has to offer are:
Strengths not commercially available.
Compounding assures all patients that they can
have the precise dose they need.
Forms
not commercially available. Compounding
allows the best drug delivery system options for
patient and physician. Oral, injection,
suppository, or transdermal routes are all
possible.
Provide 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. Our
Compounding pharmacists 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
hypoallergenic 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, our compounding pharmacists can
many times duplicate that formula.
