The Problem
After the Industrial Revolution, many functions of the pharmacist were turned over to the pharmaceutical manufacturers. The pharmacist's role gradually became oriented towards providing the patient with prefabricated mass produced medications.
As mass productions of medications expanded, the pharmacist's responsibilities were further reduced to counting pills, pouring liquids, and licking labels. During the 70's and 80's pharmacists became more clinically oriented. Providing information became as important as dispensing the drug itself.
Many wonderful medicines are available, but because of the fierce competitive nature of our market driven economy, and the standardization of mass produced medications, there is a void.
Most mass produced medicines have limited strengths and dosage forms which do not quite fit the needs of many patients. Many physicians seek customized and unique formulations for their patients in vain. IS THIS A FLAW IN OUR SYSTEMS? YES!
This system can treat most of the people most of the time, but not all of the people all of the time. Until now, the physicians who wanted to customize therapy for a patient ended up frustrated because it was too difficult, often impossible to find support from the manufacturer or pharmacist.
The Solution: Extemporaneous Compounding
Now physicians have the opportunity to initiate customized therapy for their patients when desired.
We are schooled in the art of extemporaneous compounding tailored to meet specific patients needs. The physician can now be much more creative in selecting therapy. We are practicing pharmacy "Secundum Artum" (According to the art).
Our pharmacy is taking a giant step backward to provide the basic option of compounding that was discarded many years ago by most pharmacists.
WE ARE NOW PREPARED TO CARRY THE PAST INTO THE FUTURE!
