The First Compounding Pharmacy in Wellington
What is a Compounding Pharmacy?
A traditional pharmacy is an establishment that dispenses commercially available medications that pharmaceutical companies mass-produce. These medications are typically available in standard forms, including tablets, capsules, liquids, and creams. The primary focus of pharmacists in traditional pharmacies is to dispense these medications, counsel patients regarding their proper use, and ensure that drug interactions and contraindications are considered. The role of conventional pharmacies in the healthcare system is significant as they provide access to essential medications and play a crucial role in maintaining patient safety.
A compounding pharmacy is a specialized type of pharmacy that is dedicated to the creation of bespoke medications that are tailored to meet the unique needs of individual patients. These pharmacies possess the expertise to prepare medicines in various dosages and forms, such as creams, gels, troches, and suppositories. Additionally, they can adjust the medication's strength, flavour, or formulation to comply with patient preferences or requirements. Compounding pharmacists collaborate closely with healthcare providers and patients to conceive personalized medication solutions not readily available from commercial manufacturers. This might entail creating medications free of specific allergens, combining multiple medications into a single dosage form, or modifying a medication's form to improve its administration or absorption.
