Introduction

 

​Veterinary medication therapy often poses unique challenges. Many medications can be compounded to help with administration and treatment of conditions in a variety of animals. Compounded preparations are always prepared from FDA-approved animal or human drugs. These preparations are prepared and evaluated in a manner consistent with current potency, purity and stability standards. Compounding pharmacies want to work with veterinarians to create specialized, effective formulations for their patients.

Treatment Options​

 

Depending on the animal and condition, various medications can be compounded into oral liquids, topical preparations, and animal treats.

​

Examples include:

• Topical methimazole gel for treatment of hyperthyroidism

• Phenobarbital and potassium bromide oral liquid for epilepsy

• Methocarbamol suspension for rhabdomyolysis in horses

• Antibiotic and antifungal liquid formulations for infections with appropriate flavoring to help with administration
