What is Compounding?

 

Ever had a medicine that tasted bad, a pill you had
to wrap in cheese to coax your pet into taking?

What about a medication that contained lactose
and your child is lactose intolerant?

Or experienced a prescription with uncomfortable
side effects?

Ever tried splitting a pill for a bird?

If you answered yes to any of these, custom
compounding may be the answer to these
medication problems.

Compounding - Tahoe Compounders

Tahoe CompoundersTahoe Compounders specializes in pharmaceutical compounding. Compounding combines the ageless
art of medication preparation with the latest medical knowledge and state-of-the-art technology, allowing
our specially trained pharmacists to prepare customized medications to meet each patient’s specific needs. The demand for professional pharmaceutical compounding
has increased as healthcare professionals and patients realize that the limited number of strengths and dosage forms available commercially do not always meet the
needs of many patients. Patients often have a better response to a customized medication that is "just what
the doctor ordered."

Tahoe CompoundersAs prescribed by a physician, our compounding pharmacists prepare medications using several unique delivery systems
such as creams, transdermal gels and suppositories. We can also change the strength of a medication, alter its form or add flavoring. Compounded prescriptions include custom hormone replacement therapies, pain management medications and medications for pets.

Working with patients and physicians, we can formulate
quality solutions for the patient’s healthcare needs, with
the goal of achieving maximum benefits, increasing
compliance, and improving medical outcomes.


How can compounding benefit you?

Tahoe Compounding
  1. Compounding allows us to utilize the best delivery system to meet the patient’s needs.
    For example, someone who has a hard time swallowing capsules can have their medication prepared as a suspension, or children can have their medication prepared as a lollipop.
  2. Some unique delivery systems include:

    • suppositories
    • nasal sprays
    • lip balms
    • lozenges
    • rapid dissolving tablets

  3. We can add flavorings to make medications taste better.
  4. We can eliminate problem causing agents such as dyes, sugar, lactose, or alcohol.
  5. We can combine various medications into a single dosage form.
  6. We can help reduce side effects of some drugs by preparing them as rapid absorbing topical gels.
  7. We can compound medications that are similar to commercial medications that have
    been discontinued or are no longer available.

Our compounding pharmacists are available to discuss your special medication needs. If your medication presents a challenge, talk to your compounding pharmacist and we’ll work with you and your physician to find solutions to your medication problems – just as the doctor ordered.
