Compound Pharmacy

I am looking for a doctor to perscribe a compounding safer persciption for someone with schizophrenia, The medicines have very bad side affects, Thank you, In ohio or near ## Hello, Mari! How are you? Any doctor can write such a prescription, there are no special ones that it's restricted to, so it could be written by their current treating physician. There are just only certain pharmacies that specialize in compounding such medications. However, even compounding medications isn't going to do away with the risk of side effects. What types of problems is the patient experiencing?

I am being prescribed compounded hydrocodone 20mg, the pharmacy I have been using went way up on price, 2 times. Where in Houston can I get this prescription filled at a reasonable price? ## Hello, TC! How are you? The best idea I have for you is to call your nearby large hospitals and ask them for the names of local compounding pharmacies. You can then get in touch with those pharmacies for more information. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Does anyone else have any ideas?

can not get my didludid filled after walgreens did it last month and refused this month due to good faith dispensing?? ## Hello, Fred! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. What other pharmacies have you tried? You need to actually physically go to them, with the prescription in hand, in order to find out if they carry it. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Does anyone else have any ideas? ## In response to above regarding Dilaudid prescription, the poster who first answered you said you must physically take it to them-though I didn't see anything in your post about you taking it or not taking it to them in person!

Hello, I'm looking for a compounding pharmacy that can fill my prescription of compounded 80mg hydrocodone in Jacksonville, Florida. If there's no compound pharmacy in Jacksonville that can provide this, is there a web-based compounding pharmacy that could possibly mail my prescription to me? Thank you

Has anyone ever gotten dilaudid from a compound pharmacy before? I live in Florida brought my script to this pharmacy and when I picked them up they were red capsules with no markings? When I got home I googled the pharmacy and it is apparently a compound pharmacy, I just moved from New York and have never heard of such a thing? ## Hi, Dave! If you're unsure, contact the pharmacy to double check, they shouldn't have any problem with it. However, compounding pharmacies are pretty common in most large areas and major cities, especially near large hospitals. They make the medications to order according to doctor specifications, so their capsules have no markings, they aren't required to, since they aren't manufactured drugs, such as those you would receive from a regular ph...

Do the compounded oxys work just as good as tabs? ## Do compounded oxys work as good as.oxys tabs ## What compound are you asking about? Most Oxycodone medications are available in tablet form, there are only a few available in capsules, such as the immediate release Oxycodone. Or did you mean something your doctor specially ordered to be done by a compounding pharmacy? Oxycodone is a narcotic and will work as such, regardless of what form it is in, however, it is sometimes coupled with Acetaminophen, to enhance its effects, in preparations such as Percocet.

Hello. I'm from Australia and had been sorry to learn that Butesin Picrate cream was removed from commercial sale. My daughter (a registered pharmacist with Pharmaceutical Compounding exp.) recently suffered burns while she was home cooking: I said my "often quoted regret" about the cream's discontinuation. We have - between us - located the original (1%) pharmaceutical compounding instructions for it and provided it's not large scale manufacture I can arrange to put you in touch with the compounding pharmacy - only in limited supply for individuals though (like many of us who grew up with this cream in our mothers' first aid boxes!). One ingredient (apparently) had cancer-causing discussions at scientific circles... and that's part of the PR disaster that pr...

found a empty old bottle worth any thing ## @westly, An empty bottle is an empty bottle... I'd probably throw it away if I were you. Besides, if there's nothing in it I just don't see why anyone would feel it's worth holding onto, do you? Empirin is another brand of Aspirin, which you can pick up over the counter at any pharmacy, most convenience stores, gas stations and even supermarkets. It's literally everywhere. Do you usually recycle your medicine bottles? If so, I think that's a good thing. They might only give you 5 cents for it though? I wish you the best of luck! ## I have a full unopened bottle stamped professional sample. Picked it up at an auction in a small lot box for 2.00 for everything in the box ## contrary to what you posted, the bottle the gent...

I understand ty's #3, #4 work best with tylenol or acetaminophen. Can it be compounded at a pharmacy? And perhaps without as much acetaminophen or tylenol, for health's sake and saving people from dying bc they need a higher dose of codeine? I've had fentanyl patches, hydrocodone, Lortab, etc for years of pain due to extenuating circumstances and nothing works as good "for me" as the tylenol #4. Is this something I can ask a compounding pharmacy to do for me? Is there already a ty #10 made and sold under another name? ## Hello, MinnieMoose! How are you? Plain Codeine is already available on the market, via prescription, so if you wish, you could speak to your doctor about prescribing it and taking it with whatever amount of Acetaminophen they deem appropriate. A comp...

If you are having bad side affects from Oxy OP find a compounding pharmacy that will make the formula for you. Not easy to find a one that will be able or willing to do this for you but they are out there. It is an option but make sure your doctor submits a pre-authorization for "compound" medication if you have insurance coverage. If not, the compound med is half the cost of regular OP pills. Many people do not know about compounding medicines so be prepared for that road block. Do research and be prepared. You may have to call a number of compounding pharmacies before you find one who can help you. Good Luck! ## I found that this is the best route ! Unfortunately living in the USA has not only been a prejudicial experience of drug,a,foabs that has reduced the average person to...

Oxycodone 30 mg compound no markings blue and white ## A medication specially ordered by your doctor and done at a compounding pharmacy would usually not have any markings, they just use unmarked capsules. The FDA classifies Oxycodone as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Purple and green capsule no markings but has a sweet taste it's supposed to be a OxyContin ## Does anyone notice that tadte has alot to do with the effectiveness of their pain meds? I have noticed that the more bitter the pill the more effective it is , the more bland or sweeter it is the more non effective.

Can oxycodone and tylenol be compounded together in a liquid form? ## Hi Deb, From what I understand, both medications in and of themselves (Oxycodone and Acetaminophen) are available as liquid/oral solutions. So it's very likely that you could get a compounding pharmacy to combine the two for you once you present them with a valid prescription from your doctor, for authorization. I would just recommend consulting with a compounding pharmacist in your area first to see what it'll end up costing you and if there are any other pertinent details that you need to know about up front. Hope this helps! ## I take oxycodone and then OTC liquid or children's tylenol, and it seems to work fine. If your pharmacy says they can't do it for you, you could ask your dr if this could wor...

Same as many of you writing here. Last night I drove-(post-op of three compound fractures with possible infection) to 7 pharms all who claimed "out of stock" or "manufacturer is limiting am't. we can order"-just about anything so they don't have to fill your prescription. This is insane. I'm driving all over creation because they all lie via phone. Im waiting to have an accident because my pain is so bad I start crying. I feel like suing every pharmacy pulling this. 7-11's are robbed constantly-they don't stop selling particular items. If I can't find somewhere on Long Island I will take legal action if plausible I'm angry-terribly stressed, etc. ## Hello, Andy! How are you? I'm very sorry that you're in pain and having trouble finding...

I found some white capsules with no pill imprint, They look like clear capsules with a white powder. I believe at one point my husband was having compounded meds made-Hydrocodone, but he took them out of the container. He can't remember if these are the compounds.What else could they be? Are there any common white capsules out there? ## Yes, there are several on the market, since the color itself means nothing. There are a few supplements that meet this description, as well as vitamins. You could try asking the pharmacy that did the compounding, they may be able to identify them for you, however, there are no guarantees on this. Without markings, it can be very hard to identify something. Another option would be to pay to have them lab tested. To help narrow it down, where did you f...

I got the compound from the pharmacy but the powder only filled one end of the capsule...is this normal. What should it weigh and how do I know I'm getting the right med! ## Hello, Rnail712! How are you? Yes, that is normal. Compounded mediations don't usually contain as many fillers as the manufactured ones do. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Have you taken it, yet? Did it help your pain?

I was given a blue and white capsule with white powder in it with NO IMPRINTING AT ALL on it and said it was a 30mg oxycodone. Is this possible?? Can a compounding pharmacy do this? ## Short answer: Yes, as long as the physician prescribed and there is a specific need for it to be compounded. That being said...I would be very cautious and inquire as to WHY they are compounding 30mg oxy as capsules instead of using the commercially produced tablets. I myself am a pharmacist and do many different types of compounding- mostly in the pain sector. and the only time I compound oxycodone is to combine it with either something for nausea (common side effect) or low dose ibuprofen or acetaminophen, or in combo with something to reduce/prevent constipation. I NEVER have compounded it by itself. T...

light blue on one half dark blue on the other half no print 32 mg oxycodone ## Hello, Trey! How are you? An Oxycodone compound would be something that was specially done by a compounding pharmacy, because a doctor ordered a dosage or mixture that is not commercially available. That would explain it not having an imprint, because compounding pharmacies typically use unmarked capsules. That said, this also means that there is no way to verify what they actually contain, unless you would pay to have them lab assayed somewhere. However, most compounding pharmacies do use plain clear or white capsules, because they are the least expensive and most readily available, so unless you picked this up from such a pharmacy yourself, the fact that they are blue gives reason to doubt that they actuall...

What is "LI 2.5%/PR 2.5%/CY 0.1%/GA 6%/AR"? I found it in my mother's medicine cabinet and she doesn't remember what it's for. ## These are specialized ointments ordered by a doctor and filled by a compounding pharmacy, but going by what I've learned, my best guess from what you've listed is that it contains Lidocaine (which is as topical anesthetic), Pregabalin (which is used to treat nerve pain), Cyclobenzaprine (which is a muscle relaxant), and Gabapentin (which is also used to treat nerve pain.) However, you can always contact the pharmacy to be sure. They should be able to tell you the precise ingredients, in case I'm wrong, as well as why it was prescribed. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including skin redness, irritation, drynes...
