At Monroe Ave Pharmacy we know all pets are different and we compound medications that can meet the distinctive needs of your animal. The goal of compounding for the veterinary patient is to enhance the veterinarian’s ability to treat patients in a more effective and efficient manner.

We can compound medications into specialized dosage forms and shapes to cater to individual preferences such as rectal suppositories and topical sprays. For example, transdermal delivery is a method in which you apply the medication to the inside of an animal’s ear for systemic absorption. This type of delivery is useful in patients who should not become stressed while medication is being administered. This delivery also makes it easier for the owner to administer the medication.

We can compound tasty medications that are just the right size, shape and consistency for domestic or exotic animals. Various flavors are available such as fish for cats, beef and liver for dogs, tutti frutti for birds, banana for exotics, etc.

Working with your veterinarian, we can incorporate the right amount of medication into chews, capsules, topical or transdermals into the most appropriate dosage for a specific animal.

Following a veterinarian’s prescription, we can make medicine that is easier to administer and improve compliance. For example, oral and topical syringes provide a simple means of accurately measuring and administering medication and are particularly useful when the dose is fluctuating.

Our veterinary compounding service allows veterinarians to broaden their prescribing abilities and to offer dosage forms that are patient-specific in strength and formulation. To learn more about veterinary compounding, contact your veterinarian or Monroe Ave Pharmacy. We would be happy to work with your veterinarian on the treatment options that are right for your animal.
