Messenger Valley Pharmacy Custom Compounding
Your physician or veterinarian may order a prescription for you or your pet that is not available commercially and needs to be tailored to your specific needs.
Sometimes, you or your family pet may not be able to tolerate a medication that is taken by mouth. We may be able to prepare this product into a topical preparation that is rubbed into the skin, or a suppository that is inserted rectally.
Your physician may want to combine two or more active drugs into one preparation to make the therapy more efficient or easier to follow. Or you may be allergic to a preservative or dye in a manufactured product that a pharmacist can custom compound in a preservative-free or dye-free form.
Compounding allows the physician to do many things for the patient that are not possible with the limitation of only using commercially available products. The pharmacists at Messenger Valley Pharmacy would like to work with you and your physician (or your pet's veterinarian) to provide a prescription tailored to your needs.
