Understanding Non-sterile Compounding
Non-sterile compounding is a crucial service Health Dimensions Clinical Pharmacy provides.
Non-sterile compounding caters to patients and healthcare providers with specific pharmaceutical needs that commercial medications cannot meet.
This process involves creating customized medication formulations to fit each patient’s unique needs, including variations in dose, form, flavor, or ingredients excluded due to allergies or other sensitivities.
Importance of Non-sterile Compounding
Bridging the gap in medication options for challenging health conditions in humans and animals
Non-sterile compounded medications allow doctors and veterinarians to approach their patients’ condition from diverse, more targeted approaches.
This flexibility is crucial for managing complex, hard-to-treat diseases and symptoms. Where commercially available (mass-produced) medications may have failed, our special drug combinations and forms offer a vital service, providing more options to improve and manage health.
Common Non-Sterile Dosage Forms
Non-sterile compounding can produce a variety of medication forms to suit different patient needs. Common dosage forms include:
- Topical Creams and Gels: Applied directly to the skin for localized treatment.
- Oral Capsules and Tablets: Custom dosages and combinations for oral intake.
- Liquids and Solutions: For patients who prefer or need medication in liquid form.
- Troches and Lozenges: Slow-dissolving forms for oral mucosal absorption.
- Powders: For ease of use in administration where dosage flexibility is required.
- Suppositories: For rectal or vaginal administration, useful in cases where oral administration is unsuitable.
