What is a Compounded Medication?
Compounded medications are customized medications that are made by a compounding pharmacy. These pharmacies specialize in creating medications that are not available in the market or that are not suitable for a specific patient. The pharmacist combines the active ingredients in the medication with other inactive ingredients to create a unique formulation that meets the specific needs of the patient.
Compounded medications can come in various forms such as capsules, creams, ointments, gels, powders, and many more. The dosage form and strength of the medication depend on the specific needs of the patient. Compounded medications can also be flavored to make them more palatable for pets.
Why Do Some Pets Need Compounded Medications?
There are several reasons why a pet might need compounded medication. One of the most common reasons is that the commercially available medication is not suitable for the pet. For example, a medication that is only available in a pill form might not be suitable for a pet that cannot swallow pills. In such cases, the pharmacist can compound the medication into a more suitable form such as a liquid or chewable tablet.
Another reason why a pet might need a compounded medication is that the commercially available medication is not available in the required strength. In such cases, the pharmacist can compound the medication to the required strength. This is particularly important for pets that require a specific dosage of medication.
