WHAT IS veterinary compounding?
Veterinary compounding allows a veterinarian to prescribe a customized medication that is not commercially available. Our compounding pharmacists can mix drugs together to adjust the strength of medication or to make a formulation that is easier to administer. Veterinary compounding ensures that your pet has a medication designed to treat their specific needs.
when is veterinary compounding necessary?
Veterinary compounding may be necessary for animals when approved drugs must be modified sufficiently in order to treat the animal’s needs. Compounding could also be necessary if no approved drug exists, or if the drug is not commercially available.
