Medications may be commercially unavailable for various reasons, including:
– Manufacturing problems causing back-orders
– Discontinuation due to decreased usage or declining manufacturer profits, often related to the introduction of newer drugs
– Limited raw materials
– Supply chain interruptions
– ** Drugs are also withdrawn from the market due to health risks, and we do not compound medications that were discontinued due to safety concerns. **
-Sometimes only certain doses and dosage forms of a particular drug, or specific combinations are discontinued.
Our professional pharmacists can assist by sourcing the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) and compounding the required medication in the most suitable dose, dosage form, and flavor tailored to each patient. We can also compound medications that are free of unwanted additives such as sugar, alcohol, preservatives, dyes, and gluten. This ensures that patients with specific dietary restrictions or sensitivities can safely take their medications without worrying about adverse reactions.
