Veterinarians & The Compounding Pharmacy of Beverly Hills

Are your pet-owners having trouble getting their animals to take their medication?

Do they have a pet that vomits a medication after taking it?

Do you have a pet-owner whose animal is too big or too small for dosage sizes that are commercially available?

Do you treat animals that have cardiovascular or hypertensive illness, and are stressed by traditional modes of medication delivery?

Do you require a compound medication, so the animal can take one medication instead of three?

Do you have an animal medication challenge which may require specialized tools for application, or novel delivery methods?

The Compound Pharmacy of Beverly Hills offers solutions to these problems by compounding specialized medications which meet the unique needs of your beloved cats and dogs.

Flavored Medication

Trying to administer medication to an animal is not always easy. We prepare medications in easy-to-give flavored dosage forms that animals devour. Tuna for cats, liver for dogs, banana or tutti fruitti for exotics – you name it, we can compound it!

Medicine in Ideal Size, Strength, and Dosage Form

Commercial animal medications may be available in only one size or strength. We can create a preparation which contains the most appropriate dosage for a specific animal. We make medicine easier to administer and often more economical. We can compound numerous dosage forms that are just right for specific animals – from medicated chewable “treats” to liquid concentrates, from ear drops to dusting powders. The active ingredient can usually be administered by various routes. (oral, transdermal, optic, etc.)

Transdermal Medications

Have you ever thought of applying a transdermal preparation to the inside of an animal’s ear or another hairless area as an alternate route for systemic absorption? It’s quick and easy, and many medications are compatible with transdermal bases. Transdermal delivery is particularly useful for animals who should not be stressed due to cardiovascular or hypertensive illness. Also, it is appreciated by owners who no longer have to deal with an animal who resists being medicated, and the resulting scratches! We can also prepare topical medications for application at the site of inflammation or infection.

Unavailable Medication?

Manufacturers often stop producing medicines and dosage forms which are unprofitable to market due to low demand. However, there is still the occasional need for such products. Perhaps a veterinary formulation is unavailable, and for one reason or another, the human preparation just won’t do. We can obtain the necessary pharmaceutical grade chemicals, and from them compound individualized dosage forms that may even be superior to the discontinued formulation for use in a particular animal.

Combination Needed?

The ideal preparation may need to contain several ingredients to treat a variety of symptoms. For example, an animal may have skin problems that do not respond to a single-ingredient preparation. Yet using three medicines from separate containers can be inconvenient and costly. We can compound the needed medications into a single, easy-to-use preparation.

Novel Devices and Delivery Systems

In addition to customized medications, we offer a variety of unique dispensing devices to simplify administration and improve compliance. For example, oral and topical syringes provide a means of accurately measuring and administering medication, and are particularly useful when the dose is fluctuating. A dauber bottle is excellent for topical application, such as painting medication on nails.
