La Quinta Pharmacy

The most important being patient noncompliance. There are many reasons for noncompliance which can be addressed by the compounding pharmacist including, but not limited to: allergies to dyes, preservatives or fillers, a needed strength is not marketed, a medication is no longer manufactured, a neded drug is currently unavailable, the patient is unable to swallow, the flavor is not acceptable to the patient. Many drugs can be combined to reduce daily dosage scheduling and many medications can be made in a wide spectrum of unique delivery systems, such as sublingual tablets, troches and lozenges, suppositories, cream, lotions and suspensions for those who cannot swallow capsules or tablets. Compounding is practiced using a three-pronged approach. This essential "Triad" relationship is a team effort between the Physician, the Patient and the Compounding Pharmacist. The doctor examines, diagnoses and prescribes treatment. The compounding pharmacist then prepares a formula that meets the exact requirements of your doctor's prescription and the specific needs of the patient. This enables you to receive the type of personalized care that you deserve and allows me, an independent community compounding pharmacist, the opportunity to provide superior, patient-oriented service.

Veterinary Compounding
As any pet owner is well aware, animals may be extremely difficult to treat with medications. Cats are notorious for refusing to swallow a pill and will usually eat right around one disguised in food. Dosages can be tricky with dogs too - a medication that works on an 80-pound Golden Retriever is far too much for a six-pound Yorkie to handle. La Quinta Compounding Pharmacy can prepare prescription orders for any medication which is not commercially available.
Hospice Compounding
The skills and caring of a knowledgeable pharmacist, along with physician services to attend to a patient's medical needs, are necessary to provide symptom control and pain relief in an end-of-life situation. Pharmacy compounding is a practical and compassionate way to meet these needs.
