How Conlin's applies compounding techniques in filling your doctor's orders

 

Some reasons why you might consider
a compounded prescription...

Dosage Unavailable
Commercial medications come available in only certain strengths. Yet, your doctor may find that you need a more specific dose. We can prepare a dosage form that will contain exactly this amount. You no longer need to take too much or too little medicine, causing adverse side effects or ineffectiveness.

Dosage Form Unavailable
Medicine is often available only in tablets or capsules. Frequently, infants and certain individuals have difficulty swallowing. They need the peace of mind that alternate dosage forms can provide them with...

  • Pleasant tasting liquids
  • Easy to dissolve lozenges
  • Painless inhalant solutions
  • Suppositories
  • Creams
  • Lotions
  • Gels
    <BACK TO TOP>

Medicine Unavailable
Pharmaceutical manufacturers, at times, stop making products for which there is limited demand or a newer medicine is available on the market. However, some people have always responded well to their medication, and don't want to change to sometimes a more expensive alternative. Once we obtain the chemical form of the medicine, we can compound the prescription and help them continue their therapy.

Medicine Taste Unpleasant
Commercial products are usually available in only one flavor. Too often, children and even some adults find the flavor disagreeable and do not take their medication. We can prepare dosage forms in a number of different flavors, actually improve the original flavor, and even mask some of the bitter aftertaste to meet their individual needs. A wide variety of flavorings can be added to medicines, including:

  • Cherry
  • Strawberry
  • Orange
  • Grape
  • Tangerine
  • Raspberry
  • Lemon Lime
  • Banana-Orange
  • Banana
  • Watermelon
  • Tropical Punch
  • Very Berry Punch
  • Sour Apple
  • Caribbean Fruit
  • Tuti Fruiti
  • Blueberry
  • Apricot
  • Chocolate-Banana
  • Coconut
  • Blackberry
  • Pineapple
  • Pina Colada
  • Chocolate
  • Bubble Gum
  • Butterscotch
  • Maple
  • Root Beer
  • Licorice
  • Coffee
  • Cinnamon
  • Vanilla
  • Peppermint Stick

Inconvenient To Use
A patient may have a skin problem that requires more than one type of medicated cream. However, most skin creams have only one active ingredient, so the patient would have to use two or three different creams. This is often inconvenient and costly. We can compound these active ingredients into one cream, providing a more convenient and cost effective solution.

Known Allergy
Most commercial medicines contain flavors, preservatives, dyes, and other inactive fillers. If a patient is allergic to any one of these ingredients, unpleasant or life threatening consequences could result. We can prepare these medicines without any of the materials to which a patient is known to be allergic.
