Compounding and Custom Medications
Commercially available medications may not be suitable for everybody. That is when compounded, and custom medications will be helpful.
Ogden Pharmacy in Lynnwood, Ogden, Calgary, provides compounding and custom medications for humans and animals.
Compounding is the process of creating a custom medication from scratch. This is usually done when a patient cannot take a pill in its standard form (due to administration difficulty, bad taste, or a side effect of a specific administration form) or when there is no standard form of the medication available.
Custom medications can be created to meet the particular needs of a patient, including allergies, sensitivities, and other medical conditions.
Examples of the medical conditions and needs that could make use of compounding:
- special doses of antibiotics for kids
- acid reflux medicines for babies and newborns
- adding flavours to medicines of kids
- adding flavours and special doses for pets’ diseases
- changing the form of administration for seniors
- commercially unavailable medicines (such as Clomid (hormonal therapy for to-be pregnant women) and Pink Lady (for severe cases of acid reflux))
- Changing pills into suspensions to avoid swallowing difficulties
Compounding could use different forms of administration, including:
- capsules
- liquids and suspensions
- topicals (creams and lotions)
- suppositories
- foams
- gummy bears
