Can A Pharmacist Formulate Manually

Updated

Is it possible for pharmacist to provide powdered Rx if tablets no longer manufactured? Some of the old time pharmacists still concoct some Rx, although I'm only familiar with them doing cremes. The capsules are useless, as is Fioricet, and I've taken tablets for 25 years. I have even tried Fioricet along with additional aspirin, but no relief. Is there any recourse to get these tablets manufactured in labs again? Tried many things with no relief.

Hello, Darlene! How are you?

Yes, this can be done by compounding pharmacies. Basically, they keep powdered forms of drugs on hand and put them into capsules, as per the dosage your doctor orders.

This can still be done for almost any medication, as long as it hasn't been pulled from the market due to health dangers.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Do you know how happy you just made me? If they stop making Fiornal/cet my pharmacist can "Compound" the prescription? Works for me!

My neighborhood pharmacy does not compound, but that would be an ideal solution. I will do a google search for compounding pharmacies in my area. Thank you!
