College Pharmacy has the ability to compound an infinite variety of
formulations designed to meet patients' individual needs. All of our
formulations meet or exceed the highest industry standards for excellence.
Our pharmacy utilizes state-of-the-art technology, including a class 100
clean room to assure maximum integrity for each and every formulation we
prepare.
What is Custom Compounding?
A customized medication prepared by a pharmacist according to a doctor’s specifications to meet an individual patient's need.
Pharmacists make medications from scratch using raw materials, powders and devices.
Preservative-Free and Allergy-Free Formulations
We are able to compound medications without the excipients and
preservatives found in most commercial preparations. Suitable replacements
free of color, starch, yeast, sugar and preservatives are easily formulated.
Discontinued Medicines
Hundreds of medicines are voluntarily withdrawn from the marketplace each
year. A needed treatment may not be available due to a small market share
or lack of profitability. A compounded replacement may be possible.
Dosage Variation
A tablet or capsule may need to be converted into a liquid, suppository, cream,
or gel form. The exact dosage, or the ideal dosage a patient needs, may not be
commercially available. Compounding can provide any dosage form the patient needs.
Custom Formulations
You and your health care provider can
create your own single or combination treatment protocol using any delivery
system you choose.
Medicines Not Commercially Available
Many formulations will never be commercially developed due
to difficulty
in obtaining patents and lack of market demand. Compounding allows for medical
treatments that otherwise may not be possible.
How Compounding Works
Successfully formulating the ideal compound for each and every patient requires
a close relationship between the patient, the doctor, and our pharmacists.
Prescriptions can be phoned, faxed, or mailed to us for processing. Patients can
contact us the same way and by e-mail as well, to handle shipping, insurance, and
billing information.
