One team One focus YOU F CUS Customized Medicine for Adults, Children and Pets

Opened by Dr. Lance Campbell, Pharm.D., R.Ph back in 2003, local Campbell’s Compounding Pharmacy custom mixes medication formulas for adults, children, and pets. “There are a myriad of reasons why one might want to have their medications custom made,” says Dr. Campbell. “Here are a few.”

• No longer available. A drug becomes unprofitable to continue mass-producing when not enough people are using it. But what about the few people benefiting from the drug? Compounding pharmacists can recreate it!

• No unwanted ingredients. Commercially manufactured medications commonly contain lactose, preservatives, dyes, gluten, sugar, and a variety of other non-active ingredients. A compounding pharmacist can create formulations without ingredients that may be problematic for some.

• Easier to use. A compounding pharmacist can flavor many medications, making them more palatable without losing their effectiveness. Medications can also be compounded in different dosage formats, including creams, lozenges, and suppositories.

• Correct dosage. Commercially available medicines come in standard dosages. With compounding, the medication can be made in the exact dosage the patient’s body requires.

• Cost. It is often thought that having something custom-made to meet

“If our staff can’t make it… then you probably don’t need it!”
