Countless therapeutic possibilities exist when medications can be customized to meet the unique needs of a specific patient. The Compounding Center of South Jersey solves patient medication problems by using the highest grade of ingredients to formulate needed medications in the optimal strength and dosage form for each patient.
Our compounding laboratory contains equipment that is not found in most pharmacies, enabling us to precisely compound each medication to the prescriber's exact specifications. We consider the physical and chemical properties of active and inactive ingredients in order to prepare customized medications with the proper consistency, stability, texture, color, and taste, thereby optimizing the therapeutic potential of each preparation.
Our compounding professionals can prepare:
- Unique dosage forms containing the best dose of medication for each individual
- Medications free of problem-causing excipients such as sugar, lactose, dyes, alcohol, gluten, or preservatives
- Combinations of various compatible medications into a single dosage form for easier administration and improved compliance
- Medications that are not commercially available
- Novel medication delivery systems
When a patient has a resistant or unique problem and commercially manufactured dosage forms do not precisely meet his or her specific needs, or if a drug is unpalatable or side effects of commercially available medications are unacceptable, contact our compounding professionals. We can change the dosage form or route of administration to improve acceptance, simplify administration, or decrease side effects - all of which can enhance compliance to medication protocols and improve therapeutic outcomes.
Our pharmacists frequently attend continuing education courses to stay on the cutting edge of the art and science of pharmaceutical compounding.
