Compounding
Katy Medical Complex Pharmacy prides itself on offering specialized compounding services that cater to the diverse needs of our patients. Compounding is the art and science of preparing personalized medications, and our pharmacy excels in both sterile and non-sterile compounding. Here’s a more detailed look at each service:
Non-Sterile Compounding
Non-sterile compounding allows us to create customized medications that are not required to be sterile. This service is particularly beneficial for patients who have allergies, require specific dosages, or prefer alternative forms of medication. Our non-sterile compounding services include:
• Topical Creams and Ointments: We create custom formulations for dermatological conditions, allowing for tailored ingredients that address specific skin issues or sensitivities.
• Troches & Lozenges: We prepare custom formulation that dissolve in the mouth or under the tongue, providing a way for drugs to enter the bloodstream more quickly than traditional oral methods
• Lollipops: Our novel approach to medication delivery, designed specifically for children who may be reluctant to take traditional medications in pill or liquid form.
• Capsules: For patients who need a specific dose that is not commercially available, we can prepare customized capsules to ensure accurate dosing.
• Suspensions: We prepare liquid medications for patients who have difficulty swallowing pills, ensuring that they receive their medications in a form that is easier to take.
Quality Assurance
Quality is paramount in our compounding services. We adhere to the highest standards set by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) guidelines for compounding practices. Our sterile compounding area is regularly inspected and maintained to ensure compliance with safety regulations. Additionally, we conduct thorough testing of all compounded medications to guarantee their potency and purity.
