Benefits of CompoundingMedicine Unavailable?

Discontinued products have often been removed from the market due to decreased drug utilization and declining manufacturer profits. However, there are often patients for who this product provided the best remedy. Using pharmaceutical-grade chemicals, a specially trained pharmacist with the proper equipment can compound a medication containing the same active ingredients as the discontinued product.

Dosage Form Unavailable?

Tablets or capsules are often the form commercially available medication is produced. However, infants and other adults can not swallow or do not prefer this dosage form. Therefore, through the use of compounding, your medication can be made into liquid, suppository, troche, lozenger or other forms to administer the medication. Have your doctor call us and we will be able to assist you with this problem.

Tired of Splitting Tablets?

How Many Pieces Make a 1/4 of a Tablet? Are you tired of breaking tablets, or swallowing many capsules for a single dose? Using specialized equipment, Martin Avenue Pharmacy is able to prepare customized dosage forms to meet your specific needs. For example, a medicine may be available commercially only in a 25 mg. and 50 mg. tablet. Yet, your doctor may find that the best dose for you is 40 mg. Therefore, you would need to split the tablet and hope you get the correct dose, but at Martin Avenue Pharmacy we can prepare a dosage form that will contain exactly this amount. You won’t have to take too much medicine, which is wasteful and could cause adverse effects, or too little medicine, which could be ineffective.
