Veterinary Compounding
One of the biggest challenges in pharmaceutical therapy for veterinary care is the fact that most medications are manufactured with an intended use in humans, not animals. While the active pharmaceutical ingredients in these products may be effective in treating animal diseases and conditions, different formulations of the drug are often required in order to meet species-unique physiological and behavioural needs. Common considerations when compounding veterinary pharmaceuticals include dosage form, dose, and palatability.
The unique niche of veterinary compounding allows us to help veterinarians to overcome a number of challenges such as:-
Discontinuation of manufactured drugs Commercially unavailable drugs Lack of approved veterinary drugs for many species Unsuitable strengths of commercial medications or some of their ingredients Customers having difficulties administering medications to their pets Flavour suitability of medicine for different species
