| What
is Compounding? |
|
Compounding is the art
and science of preparing customized dosage forms
and products that are not commercially available.
This gives a tremendous amount of flexibility for
the physician to select the best therapy and route
of administration for his/her patients.
We have the expertise and equipment not usually
found in most pharmacies. Our highly specialized
pharmacists serve only compounding physicians and
their clients. We use only the purest pharmaceutical
grade chemicals and latest technology to deliver
the highest quality product. Our state of the art
class 10,000 clean room serves as the preparation
area for our compounds.
Policies and procedures outline all of our preparation
techniques based on current scientific principles
and peer reviewed data. In addition, end-product
testing and quality assurance procedures ensure
that our compounded preparations are of the highest
quality and purity possible. |

| Why Would I Need Compounded Preparations? |
|
In most situations, we
work closely with you and your physician to solve
medication dosage and administration problems. Examples
include the preparation of alcohol, dye and preservative
free formulations of almost any ingredient commercially
available such as eye drops, oral liquids/suspensions,
creams or capsules and tablets.
Extending the duration of action of medication (i.e..
sustained release), specific applications to small
areas rather than systemic (whole body) absorption
to avoid unwanted side effects, change a route of
administration that is not commercially available,
i.e.. Nasal spray or liquid suspension or sterile
injection.
Unique products that are not commercially available,
such as bio-identical (natural) hormone replacement
therapy, pain management and or veterinary dosage
forms.
Finally, because the commercial dosage forms are
back-ordered, unavailable or simply discontinued
by the manufacturer. These products work well but
for one of the previous reasons are not available,
we have the ability to obtain the raw chemical and
formulate it into an ideal dosage form much like
the commercially available product. |

| How Do I Obtain a Compounded
Preparations? |
|
In most cases, compounded
preparations require a prescription from a licensed
physician or practitioner. Your physician or practitioner
can simply call, mail or fax in your prescription
to our pharmacists for immediate compounding. If
your physician/practitioner needs more information
or consultation regarding a product or possible
dosage forms, our qualified compounding pharmacists
are available to consult.
If you have an existing compounded prescription
at another pharmacy and would like to transfer your
prescription to Park Pharmacy, simply call or e-mail

and we will call your pharmacy and make all of the
arrangements to transfer your prescription.
In most cases, our compounding specialists can prepare
your prescription and ship within 24 hours! Our
dedicated staff is courteous and professional and
eager to assist you with your information requests
