Reasons for Compounding
The most important reason for compounding is patient noncompliance. There are many
patients who are allergic to preservatives or dyes, or are sensitive to standard drug
strengths. With a physician's prescription, a compounding pharmacist can customize
the strength of a medication and its form to make it easier for the patient to ingest, and
add flavor to it to make it more palatable.
The pharmacist also can make the medication using several unique delivery systems,
such as a sublingual troche or lozenge, a lollipop, or a transdermal gel. Or, for those
patients who are having a difficult time swallowing a capsule, a compounding
pharmacist can make a suspension instead. Often parents have a tough time getting
their children to take their medicine because of the bitter taste. A compounding
pharmacist can work directly with the physician and the patient to select a flavoring
agent, such as vanilla, butternut, or tutti frutti, that provides both an appropriate match
for the medication's properties and the patient's taste preferences. Compounding
pharmacists also can help patients who are experiencing chronic pain. For example,
arthritic patients who cannot take certain medications due to gastrointestinal side
effects. Working with their physician, a compounding pharmacist can provide them
with a topical preparation with the anti-inflammatory or analgesic their doctor
prescribed for them.
