At The Dispensary, Remedy’s Rx, you can now that it has added a compounding room in its new pharmacy location. According to the Association of Compounding Pharmacists of Canada, compounding is a way for physicians and health care providers to order custom medications for their patients. The patient could be allergic to preservatives or dyes in brand name medications or may need a different strength than what is available from the manufacturer. Occasionally compounding is needed to simply change the form or flavour of a medication to make it easier to take. The Dispensary’s pharmacist Connor Moggach has special compound training and is looking forward to making more options available to their clients. “We are looking to expand the compound production in the store,” she says. She recently participated in special compound training in early December with an innovative company. She is now linked to an expert team of pharmacists specializing in compounds. There are many reasons for compounding, she explains. “There are some drugs that have been taken off the market, not because they are dangerous but because of the limited demand,” she says. Some of those can be prescribed in a compound when they would otherwise be unavailable. “For chronic pain, pills don’t always do the trick,” she says, explaining that there are different combinations of creams that can be used for pain treatment. “For wound treatment, there are medications normally taken orally that can have a skin healing effect in a cream,” she says. Also, compounding can make medications more palatable or a better experience. For example, a dentist can give a child medication in a sucker to numb the inside of their mouth before giving a needle for freezing. Pets use many similar medications to humans but in much smaller portions, which is another use for compounding. “You can’t 1/5 a pill for a five-pound dog or cat but you can use the raw materials and make a compound for pets,” says Moggach. Since cats can be difficult to treat, their medications can often be transformed into a compound simply rubbed into their ears once or twice per day. For accuracy, creams or lotions can even be administered with a syringe to ensure an accurate dose is given. Moggach explains compounding is just another way the pharmacy is catering to individual needs. Each compound is made “just for you,” she says. 16 January 2010 www.whatsupmuskoka.com
