What We Are Doing Right NOW...

As a result of this most recent tradegy in Tokyo we feel an overwhelming need to provide immediate assistance to those in direct radiation poisoning danger. Phil Altman has put his entire compounding staff on an emergency project:

  • Making Potassium Iodide pills for people being subjected to High Radiation Levels Overseas.

 

  • Help Educate the General Public About How To Best Protect Themselves During This Crisis Period.

The Healthy Choice Compounding Pharmacy is helping to fill the void for this much needed product from right here in our own small little corner of the world.

It is our intent to manufacture approximately one Kilo of these highly effective Potassium Iodide pills for distribution to Japan. Once this goal is reached we will be creating additional supplies for the people here in the US should a full core meltdown take place.

We are continually striving to assist and educate people about Bio Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy and find that our decades of experience can help people during this time of crisis and concern in other ways.

The Healthy Choice Compounding Team Is Getting The Job Done...
Please Call Us Immediately If You Have Any Questions About This Radiation Crisis...

 

COMPOUNDING

Reasons for Compounding

There are several reasons why pharmacists compound prescription medications, yet the most important one is patient non-compliance. My patients are allergic to preservatives or dyes, or are sensitive to standard drug strengths. With a physician's prescription, a compounding pharmacist can change the strength of a medication, alter its form to make it easier for the patient to ingest, and add flavor to it to make it more palatable. The pharmacist also can prepare the medication using several unique delivery systems, such as sublingual troche or lozenge, a lollipop, or a transdermal gel. For those patients who are having a difficult time swallowing a capsule, a compounding pharmacist can make a suspension instead.

Some parents have a tough time getting their children to take their medicine because of the taste. A compounding pharmacist can work directly with the physician and the patient to select a flavoring agent, such as vanilla, butternut or tutti frutti, that provides both an appropriate match for the medication's proper ties and the patient's taste preferences.

Compounding pharmacists also have helped patients who are experiencing chronic pain, for example, arthritic patients who cannot take certain medications due to gastrointestinal side effects.

Working with their physician, a compounding pharmacist can provide them with a topical preparation with the anti-inflammatory or analgesic their doctor prescribed for them.

THE TRIAD RELATIONSHIP

Compounding is achieved through an essential triad relationship - patient, physician and pharmacist. The physician first prescribes the medication, then the pharmacist takes the necessary ingredients, compounds them, and dispenses the medicine to the patient after a thorough consultation.

This enables patients to receive the type of personalized care they deserve and allows the compounding pharmacist the opportunity to provide superior, patient-oriented services.
