Why Use Veterinarian Compounding
Reasons To Use Our Veterinary Compounding Services
In order to ensure that your pet is receiving the most accurate and reliable medication based on his or her unique needs, veterinary compounding is a necessity. Compounding allows our pharmacists to provide special medications. We combine our expertise in animal care with the latest pharmaceutical technology to bring you the best there is to offer in pet care. Below are several of the most common reasons people seek out our services when it comes to what their pet needs:
Is Your Pet's Medication No Longer Available:
Often, manufacturers will stop producing certain drugs once they are no longer profitable. Even though there may be low demand for the drug, it may occasionally be the best alternative for an animal when newer medications fail to solve the problem. Our pharmacy uses pure USP pharmaceutical grade chemicals, which are only available at compounding pharmacies, to compound these discontinued medications in the strength and dosage form that best suits the needs of your animal.
Flavored Medication Needed:
Getting your pet to take his or her medication is usually not an easy task. Like children, animals do not like to take medication because it generally does not taste good. By flavoring and camouflaging the medication, animals are more likely to take it.
Whether its a flavored liquid, animal treat, or paw paste, you can turn your pets medication into a desirable treat for your pet!
Drug Combination Needed:
Many times animals require more than one medication. It can often be a nightmare to give your pet just one medication, let alone two or three. Through compounding, Pine Pharmacy can take multiple medications and make them into one single, easy to use medication.
Also, compounding mixtures often costs less then purchasing each medication separately!!
Cost Effectiveness:
Compounding a medication from pure pharmaceutical grade chemicals as opposed to utilizing the commercially available products is often times cheaper and can save you a great deal of money. Also, as previously mentioned, compounded mixtures often cost less than purchasing each medication separately!! Give us a call to find out if your pets medication can be compounded from a pure chemical source for less.
Medication Wrong Size or Strength:
Commercially available medications are generally available in only one size or strength. A small cat may only need a quarter tablet while a large horse may need to take twenty tablets at a time. Compounding allows us to turn these commercially available medications into just the right size and strength for any animal.
Sugar Free, Alcohol Free, Preservative Free Compounds:
In some cases it is necessary for you to give your pet medication which contains no sugar, alcohol or preservatives. We can prepare these medications upon request from your veterinarian.
