The Perfect Blend of Customization and Convenience

Ever wonder exactly what compounded medicine is and why you might need it? Dr. Lance Campbell, Pharm.D., R.Ph. at Campbell’s Compounding Pharmacy in Sugar Land sat down with us to shed some light on the benefits of compounded medicine.

“Compounding allows a medication to be personalized for an individual patient,” says Dr. Campbell. “The ability to create these personalized medications allows us to help patients with a wide variety of needs. Sometimes it’s as simple as a medication that is difficult to find or has been discontinued. This often happens when not enough people are using the drug and it becomes unprofitable to continue mass-producing it. But what about the few people benefiting from the drug? Compound pharmacists can recreate it! Even if you are the only person in the world taking the medication, you can have it thanks to compounded medicine!”

Commercially manufactured medications commonly contain lactose, preservatives, dyes, gluten, sugar and a variety of other non-active ingredients. Dr. Campbell says, “From allergies and intolerance to diets and lifestyle, there are a variety of reasons individuals avoid many of these items. But when you need the medicine, a compounding pharmacist can create a personalized formulation to give you the treatment you need while leaving out the problematic ingredients. A great example is compounded pain-relief medications that won’t afflict you with side effects like drowsiness, impaired driving, or upset stomach…so you can conquer your pain without compromising your safety!”

And sometimes you just want your medication to be easier to use! “How many parents have held down their toddler to squirt bitter Augmentin into their mouth?” asks Dr. Campbell, “Did you know a compounding pharmacist can flavor many medications…making them more palatable without losing their effectiveness? Very handy for children, elderly patients and even pets! We can also compound your medicines in different dosage formats…like an anti-nausea cream that’s rubbed on the inside of the wrist so your kids can keep it down.”

And at Campbell’s, it’s not just compounded medicines that are easier! “I know how important convenience is in today’s world,” says Dr. Campbell. “We’re proud to be a pharmacy that can take care of you and your family across the board. From specialized compounded medications to blood pressure medications to prenatal vitamins to antibiotics, I can work closely with you to fill your family’s needs. We accept major prescription and insurance plans and stock all commercially available medications. Get all of the medicine you need at one friendly neighborhood stop!”
