Compounding enables veterinarians to expand their prescribing options and provide dosage forms tailored to the specific needs of each patient, both in strength and formulation. The goal of compounding for veterinary patients is to improve the veterinarian’s ability to treat them more effectively and efficiently.
Compounding can be a game-changer for medicating animals. By preparing flavored chews that animals find tasty, pharmacists can make it much easier for pet owners to ensure their pets take their medication without a fuss. This approach can significantly reduce stress for both the animals and their owners. Additionally, the dosage of medication in chews, capsules, topical or transdermal preparations, or liquid formulations can be customized according to the veterinarian’s specific instructions. This approach removes the necessity of cutting tablets or dividing the contents of commercially prepared capsules.
We collaborate with veterinarians, their clients, and patients to address medication challenges by compounding specialized medications tailored to the unique needs of each animal—whether pets, exotics, horses, or zoo animals.
