Specialty Customized Compounding

Johns Creek Pharmacy Custom CompoundingWhat is compounding?
Compounding is the art and science of preparing customized medications for patients of all ages. If you are not responding to a traditional drug formulation; unable to swallow capsules or tablets, if you’re allergic to certain fillers and dyes contained in mass-produced drugs, or simply do not like the taste of medicine, then compounded medicine may be right for you or your family.

But it does not end there. Compounding can be extended to meet your pet’s medication needs as well. Whatever your challenge, we can help you find a solution by working with you and your doctor to solve these unique medical problems.

How does compounding benefit me?
Compounding benefits just about everyone.

For allergy sufferers, we are able to compound special dye, preservative, and filler-free medicines to cater to their sensitive needs.

For those who are unable to swallow capsules or tablets, we can create substitutes such as topical gels and creams. Flavorings can also be added to make medications more palatable.

For the athlete or sports lover, we can customize medication to meet your individual needs. For example, we can combine various drugs into one product to help combat multiple symptoms such as nerve and muscle pain; we can customize topical antifungal medications and preparations to heal blisters and calluses. In most cases, patients get the maximum benefit of topical applications while avoiding potentially severe side effects.

Give your pets the specialized care they deserve. Cats don’t like pills, but ever notice how much they love tuna? Dogs don’t like medication being squirted down their mouth, but they will take it gladly when its flavored with meat or made part of a tasty treat. Working closley with your vet we can help you with providing the right medication for your pets.

Is compounding legal and safe for me?
Yes. The state boards of pharmacy regulate compounding. If a licensed doctor prescribes the medication and a licensed pharmacy compounds the medication, compounding is safe and legal.

What medication can be compounded?
Just about any medication can be compounded. Compounded medications can come in a variety of forms, such as capsules, popsicles, lollipops, gels, creams, ointments, and suppositories.
