What is Veterinary Compounding?
What is Veterinary Compounding?
Compound veterinary medications are customized pharmaceutical preparations created for individual animals when commercial options are unsuitable or unavailable. These medications are developed through collaboration between veterinarians and compounding pharmacists. This pharmaceutical option serves as a valuable tool in veterinary medicine, particularly when standard commercial medications cannot meet an animal's specific therapeutic needs.
Why Do You Need Veterinary Compounding?
Veterinary compounding can be necessary when an animal is difficult to medicate, when a unique medical result is needed, or to minimize the amount of medication administration necessary.
Compounding should only be approved by a licensed veterinarian and instructions should be detailed and followed exactly.
Forms of Compounded Medications
Compounded medications for veterinary use can come in various forms to suit the specific needs of the animal. These forms include flavored oral suspensions or solutions, chewable treats, transdermal gels or creams, and even injectables. Each form is tailored to make medication administration easier for the pet and can be customized based on the animal's needs and health requirements.
