Compounding is an approved science, not an art. The chemicals and raw materials used by licensed pharmacists are approved by the FDA and/or other governmental regulatory agencies. Compounding pharmacists do not replace the medical advice given to a patient by a physician, they work in concert with the physician to ensure that the compounds created meet the individual medical needs of the patient. Quality patient care is the primary consideration for all compounding activities at PVPSC. Each compound is made specifically to order for each individual patient under the direct supervision, consultation and prescription from the patient's physician.

At PVPSC, we attempt to provide the patient with state-of-the-art technologies and compounding formulations to ensure that their medical needs are fulfilled. There are numerous compounds which can facilitate a viable treatment for almost every medical need.

Additionally, one of the unique features of compounding is in the veterinary care field. The drugs and medicines which are made available to humans are often not made available to animals. Compounding pharmacists are able to create custom medications to meet the medical needs of animals as well.

Some commercial products are not capable of being applied in a manner which meets the patient's specific needs. Formularies have been developed to compound available products in an effort to address this need.

Some commercial products are not easily digestible by some patients, or, in the case of pediatric care, might not be pleasing in appearance or taste. Formularies have been developed to compound available products to make them easily digestible. Formularies have been developed to make individual compounds physically attractive and tastefully pleasing (flavored lollipops, popsicles and gummy bears for pediatric care patients).
