How Compounded Preparations May Benefit Your Patients
- Physicians are not limited to “commercially available medications”
- Physicians can treat patients with customized compounded preparations
- Compounded preparations may improve patient compliance and well-being
- Compounded preparations allow for alternative methods for treating patients
- Physicians may prescribe treatments designed specifically for individual patients
Each patient’s reaction to a particular medication is different. Difficult to predict patient risk factors may include fast versus slow metabolism, bioavailability, side effects, and cellular transport. This biochemically individuality can pose difficult barriers to appropriate prescribing with commercially available medications. Compounding allows you to respond to each patient’s uniqueness in an individual way.
No longer are you limited to standard, one size fits all, medicine. With compounding, your choices include changes in the route of administration, unique potency, pharmaceutical combinations and the ability to develop new helpful compounds.
Integrating compounding prescriptions into your practice is simple. It requires no special equipment or financial investment. I t will take a minimal amount of time to develop a relationship with our compounding pharmacy that can help with treatment regimens. The investment of time will yield dividends far greater than you may expect.
Compounded preparations may enhance your practice by improving patient well-being. You have already taken the time to understand your patient’s unique needs so why not prescribe a treatment designed specifically for the needs of your patient.
