From Alligator to Zebra, at Central Pharmacy we feel that specialty compounding should have no boundaries

Today, the majority of veterinary prescriptions are dispensed directly from the veterinarian’s office. As with human prescriptions, a large percentage of these animals will be treated effectively by conventionally available medications. However, as with people, there will always be a subset of patients for whom these conventional medications are not appropriate or which the patient will not take.

Where does this leave the Veterinarian, the animal and the owner? Should an animal have to settle for therapeutic failure just because conventional medications did not work?

Absolutely not! At Central Pharmacy, we feel that our veterinary customers deserve the same right to effective treatment as our regular customers. As such, they are excellent candidates for benefiting from our specialty compounding.

At Central Pharmacy, our goal in veterinary compounding is to provide alternatives and offer creative solutions beyond the conventional. We do this by way of a close working relationship with the veterinarian in which we fill the veterinarian’s need for individualized therapy for their patients. Our advanced knowledge of compounding allows us to compound products beyond conventional products. The result is a very effective team approach with knowledge bases that complement one another.

If you feel that your pet or animal could benefit from our compounding services and would like more information, please contact one of our knowledgeable pharmacists. Or, inform your veterinarian of our specialty compounding services. Together, we can give your little (or big!) loved one the treatment they need and deserve.
