Pharmaceutical compounding is a branch of pharmacy that continues to play the crucial role of drug development at Grandpa's. Compounding pharmacists and medicinal chemists develop and test pharmaceutical formulations for new drugs so that the active ingredients are effective, stable, easy to use, and acceptable to patients.
Grandpa's Compounding Pharmacy includes the following: sterile compounding, veterinary compounding and hormone replacement pain management.
Grandpa's Compounding pharmacists fit the unique needs of a patient. This may be done for medically necessary reasons, such as to change the form of the medication from a solid pill to a liquid, to avoid a non-essential ingredient that the patient is allergic to, or to obtain the exact dose needed. It may also be done for voluntary reasons, such as adding favorite flavors to a medication.
We do compounding preparations for: - Patients requiring limited dosage strengths, such as a very small dose for infants
- Patients requiring a different formulation, such as turning a pill into a liquid or transdermal gel for people who can't swallow pills due to disability
- Patients requiring an allergen-free medication, such as one without gluten or colored dyes
- Patients who need drugs that have been discontinued by pharmaceutical manufacturers because of low profitability
- Patients who are taking bioidentical hormone replacement therapy
- Children who want flavored additives in liquid drugs
- Veterinary medicine, for a change in dose, change to a more easily-administered form (such as from a pill to a liquid or transdermal gel), or to add a flavor more palatable to the animal
