compounding pharmacy

College Pharmacy is an elite compounding pharmacy that provides patients with access to custom medications when commercial products aren’t available.

In 1938, when the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act was passed, very few dosage forms were available, and pharmacists compounded more than 250 million prescriptions annually. Nearly all of those prescriptions were compounded from bulk materials. Through the years, technical advancements in compounding equipment have allowed pharmacists to meet the growing needs of patients.

Today, a custom compound is prepared from pure, pharmaceutical-grade raw materials in accordance with a physician’s prescription, based on an individual patient’s needs. The basis of the compounding profession of pharmacy has always been the “triad,” the patient-physician-pharmacist relationship. Through this relationship, patient needs are determined by a physician, who chooses a treatment regimen that may include a compounded medication. All ingredients of compounds meet strict guidelines to ensure safety and purity.

Custom compounding prescriptions requires a trained staff of pharmacists and technicians to prepare compounded medications to strict standards, using the right equipment, and specialized processes and facilities.

Did you know that 30 to 40 million prescriptions are custom compounded each year? Why? Because each patient’s health and wellness needs are different. Some reasons you might need a custom-compounded medication:

• The medication you need for your condition is discontinued.
• You are allergic to a preservative, dye or binder that’s part of the medication you need.
• You need a tailored dosage strength of a medication (for example, infants need lower dosages).
• You can’t take the medication you need in the form in which it’s readily available (e.g., pills are difficult to swallow).
• You need to change the flavor of the medication you require so that you, or your child or loved one, can take it.
• You need a new treatment when other readily available ones have failed.
• Your pet needs a medication that must be compounded.

If you feel you could benefit from a custom compounded prescription, College Pharmacy is here to help answer your questions. We will work with your healthcare practitioner to find a solution to your health and wellness needs.

La siguiente lista incluye una muestra de algunas de las formas de dosificación que College Pharmacy compone.

Sublingual Tablets: Sublingual tablets are conveniently placed under the tongue for sublingual absorption and are not subject to first-pass metabolism by the liver.
