Compounding News

At Rainsville Compounding Pharmacy we follow both national and state laws for Good Compounding Practices and are regulated by the Alabama State Board of Pharmacy. We have the most accurate electronic balances and the highest quality equipment. We use USP pharmaceutical grade chemicals so you can be assured that you are receiving a quality, safe product.

Rainsville Compounding Pharmacy works in a triad with you and your physician to give you the best quality care.

Some of our solutions include:

• Medications that are not commercially available or that have been discontinued.
• Medications for veterinarian use.
• Making medications easier to administer, by changing flavor or dosage form.
• Making medications without preservatives of additives to which patients may be allergic.
• Tailoring hormone replacement to our patient’s unique needs.
• Making medications which bypass the GI tract (to prevent GI irritation or when patients have nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea) and provide the medications specifically to the site of action.

Types of formulations we are capable of compounding include:

• Liquids (including solutions, suspensions, elixirs, or syrups)
• 
  Gels (including transdermal formulations)
• Ointments
• Creams
• Capsules
• Suppositories
• Enemas
• Lollipops
  
• Troches /Mini-troches - small lozenges that dissolve between the cheek and gum over a period of 15-30 minutes, based on size.
  
• Ear drops
  
• Nasal sprays
  
• Topical sprays
  
• Rectal Rockets- a special suppository design for hemorrhoids that rivals traditional suppositories in 3 ways:
  1. I does not get lost in the rectum, but remains at point of insertion.
  2. It treats internal & external hemorrhoids simultaneously.
  3. The patient can expel gas without losing the suppository.

This is just a sampling of what we can do. If you are having difficulty with a medication, give us a call and we will research and try to find an alternative to suggest to your physician.
