Posted by OlegBern on February 12th, 2019

The pharmaceutical industry is responsible for improving medicine supply for the population. But, despite the growth in mass pharmaceutical production, the need for medicines in Australia cannot be fully met without services of compounding pharmacies. Sydney specialists in the field of custom medical formulations acpharm know that individual drugs, prepared in pharmacies, can be vital, first of all, for such segments of the population as children, disabled people or retirees.

For example, dosage forms for children have some specifics in comparison with drugs produced for adults. It means they must be adapted, and pharmacists working on an individual basis can provide the necessary formulation, production technology and everything that are necessary for the correct course of special treatment for the smallest ones.

According to an individual doctor prescription, compounding pharmacies can manufacture:

• Drops and solutions

• Ointments, pastes

• Injection solutions

• Eye drops

• Emulsions, suspensions, liniments

• Infusions and decoctions

• Suppositories

Pluses and minuses of compounding chemist, Sydney prices and quality of services

One of the biggest arguments for using services of custom compounding is the ability to produce medicines for the patients' specific diagnosis, taking into account individual characteristics of their bodies, such as allergies, problems with internal organs. It is obvious that mass production drugs can have side effects on the human body due to the addition of fillers, preservatives or stabilizers. Individually selected drug ingredients allow for pharmacists, taking into account all symptoms and stage of the disease, develop more precise treatment methods.

But there are also disadvantages, such as the complexity of quality control of the dosage form. After all, if we are talking about mass production, for example, migraine pills, which are produced in large quantities, it would be easy to take a sample and analyze it. In the case of custom medicines, the process of quality control is more expensive and complicated. For safety, it is important to use trusted pharmacy services.

As for prices, a drug prepared by mass pharmaceutical production seems to be cheaper than its analogue, prepared in a compounding chemist. Sydney pharmacies prove otherwise and comparison of prices will positively surprise you. The high prices of mass production medicines explain the high demand for services of pharmacists who specialize in custom compounding.

With the help of one of the compounding chemists, Sydney-based, ACPHARM, all patients can receive high-quality treatment methods and medicaments for improving health conditions.
