Do you run a pet clinic? Do your healthcare services largely revolve around human health? Either way, Bay Life Compounding Pharmacy in Clearwater Florida can help you meet the needs of a diverse clientele base no matter your target species. We provide compounding solutions that address the unique needs of both beloved pets and human patients, helping to address unique concerns across the divide. So how can our compounding patients benefit both veterinary and human health? Let’s find out.
Improving medication adherence through custom flavoring
As a veterinarian, you know firsthand just how much trouble it can be to get pets to take their medication. And who can blame them. Commercial drugs often leave a very bitter aftertaste, and it’s a key reason why pets, children and even adults often struggle to complete and follow through on their medication.
In fact, this is a situation that is threatening to get out of control, according to a report by the US Pharmacist. It finds that 50% of treatment failures are down to nonadherence issues alone, which account for 125,000 fatalities and one out of every four hospitalizations.
The statistics really speak for themselves but you can change all that with medication compounding. Here at Bay Life Pharmacy in St Petersburg, Florida, we can help make medication more appealing to improve adherence.
We do this by incorporating flavors like:
- Tuna
- Chicken
- Beef
- Bacon, etc.
This will certainly go a long way to making your pet medication less of a struggle with your animal patients.
The same goes for human patients as well. We can tailor medication using flavoring agents, effervescent drinks, and lollipops. This, in turn, accommodates the palette of adults and children alike who may not fancy the taste of commercial available in its original form.
Medicines your Patients can actually take
For patients with dysphagia who experience difficulties swallowing medication, some types of oral meds are outrightly ruled out. As a result, this can mean that your patients may not be able to access the long-term treatment that they need.
However, that all changes with a compounding pharmacy like Bay Life in Tampa Bay, Florida in your corner. We can alter dosage forms to provide easy-to-use options for both human and animal patients alike, including:
- Liquid dosages
- Lozenges
- Patches and more
In the case of polypharmacy, it can be really difficult to observe routines and it becomes easy to miss dosages. Through compounding, we can merge the capabilities of several drugs into just one pill. The result is a more enjoyable experience for your patients.
Accessibility and Convenience, You can Enjoy
Your patients may require a drug that’s not readily available. If they have to wait until it comes back in stock, this can mean worsening symptoms that may lead to treatment failures.
Medicine shortage is a brutal reality for many facilities today. In fact, a Statista survey recently revealed that 73% of countries are grappling with a severe shortage. This has caused distress, inconvenience, and interruption of treatment programs.
This is yet another important reason why it’s prudent to work with a compounding pharmacy. At Bay Life, we have direct access to raw materials. This allows us to create custom medication even in times when there are biting shortages around the world.
As a result, this ensures treatment continuity isn’t severed. And because of it, you can eliminate delays in medical care, and avert medication errors, both of which can negatively impact patient outcomes.
Customized drugs for better outcomes
Do your patients keep returning with the same health issues time and again? These conditions could be relapsing because you’re providing commercial and generic medication that don’t address your patient’s unique needs, be they pet or human.
By mixing, combining, altering and finetuning ingredients, we can provide help to create customized and precise medication that matches each individual’s needs in terms of:
- Weight
- Size
- Unique physiological factors
- Underlying conditions
- Age, etc.
With this targeted and personalized approach to medication, this means a higher likelihood of positive health outcomes. Not only that but your patients may also get on the path to recovery much faster.
