Compounding
Customized Medications for Individual Patient Needs
Sometimes a commercially available medication does not adequately meet a patient’s specific needs.
A child may need a different strength or dosage form. Older adults may require a formulation that better meets their prescription needs. Your vet can provide you medication made just for your pet. Some patients may also need a particular topical or sterile preparation.
At Sullivan’s Pharmacy, our compounding team prepares customized medications based on individual prescriptions and patient needs. We work with patients, families, caregivers, healthcare providers, and veterinary customers to help determine the appropriate next steps.
