Explanation of Compounding Pharmacy
Compounding is a working partnership between the physician, pharmacist and patient to solve a patient’s unique medical problem.  This partnership is call the compounding triad.


Physician
Pharmaceutical compounding can enhance any physician’s practice. You can improve upon patient compliance and outcome by taking the time to understand your patient’s needs, and combining your skills with those of our compounding pharmacist to develop products for the specific needs of your patients. Each patient is an individual, so why should one drug fit all? Each individual’s reaction to a particular medicinal substance is different difficult-to-predict factors include fast-versus-slow metabolism, bio-availability, side effects. This biochemical individuality can pose difficult barriers to appropriate prescribing. Compounding allows you to tailor the medication to each person’s uniqueness in an individualized way. No longer are you limited to “cookie cutter” medicine. Your choices now include new routes of administration, dosage strengths, pharmaceutical combinations and the ability to develop new, potentially helpful compounds. Medicine can be as large as your knowledge and imagination will allow.

Patient
“Caring for you like family” is our goal. Our pharmacist has the training in bio-identical hormone replacement, men’s health, pain management, wound care and endocrinology to answers patient’s questions, make physician referrals, and work with the physician to create a unique formulation to solve the patient’s problem. One drug will not meet every patient’s need. Patients’ are allergic to dyes, have lactose intolerance, and are allergic to preservatives, adhesives in patches, to certain ingredients in vaginal creams. These are just a few of the problems that can be solved by a compounding pharmacist. We care enough to listen and solve your problem.

Pharmacist
Pharmaceutical compounding requires a higher level of expertise and dedication to pharmacy than just the act of mixing. Partners In Care has a reference library on drugs, their actions, their routes of administration, their compatibilities and incompatibilities. Chuck Fulmer, RPh, FIACP has the compounding experience to discuss a potential formula with you immediately. However, sometimes it is necessary to review the specific medication, dosage forms applicable to a certain condition. The ability to create an effective new formula is truly the art of compounding. High tech compounding equipment, proper maintenance, written protocols and a written log of each compounded preparation assures that only products meeting the highest standards are prepared and dispensed at Partners In Care.
