Pharmacy Compounding

At Valuecare pharmacy we believe to truly help patients, you have to personalize every part of the process. Building strong relationships between physicians and pharmacists is a critical part of the Treatment Triad and a vital part of Valuecare pharmacy’s approach to medicine. We work shoulder to shoulder with you to create individual formulations that target specific conditions, taking each patient’s personal health profile into account. We carefully analyze allergies, additional medications, and other medical conditions that may affect treatment so we can all help patients more effectively. Valuecare pharmacy is proud to offer our physicians field-based clinical support, state of the art facilities, and a history of excellence.

As part of Valuecare pharmacy’s ongoing commitment to professional excellence, we are active members of the following organizations:

Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board (PCAB) https://www.achc.org/

Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board (PCAB) offers the most comprehensive compliance solution in the industry, with standards based on U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention (USP) guidelines.  The Pharmacy Compounding Accreditation Board (PCAB) is an independent organization that oversees pharmacies specializing in individualized medicine. PCAB Accreditation gives patients, prescribers, and payers a way to select a pharmacy that meets or exceeds the quality standards of United States Pharmacopeia. Valuecare pharmacy is proud to be one of two pharmacies in Missouri to earn this prestigious certification.

International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists (IACP) www.iacprx.org

The mission of the International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists is to protect, promote, and advance the art and science of pharmacy compounding. They represent more than 1,800 pharmacists, physicians, technicians, and patients who are committed to practicing quality pharmacy compounding.

The long-established tradition in pharmacy practice that enables physicians to prescribe and patients to take medicines that are specially prepared by pharmacists to meet patients’ individual needs.  A growing number of patients have unique health needs that off-the-shelf prescription medicines cannot meet. For them, customized, compounded medications prescribed or ordered by licensed physicians and mixed safely by trained, licensed compounding pharmacists are the only way to better health. Pharmacists are the only health care professionals that have studied chemical compatibilities and can prepare alternate dosage forms. In fact, each state requires that pharmacy schools must as part of their core curriculum instruct students on the compounding of pharmaceutical ingredients.

Compounding pharmacies are licensed and regulated in the 50 states and the District of Columbia by their respective state boards of pharmacy.

Because every patient is different and has different needs, customized, compounded medications are a vital part of quality medical care.

The basis of the profession of pharmacy has always been the “triad,” the patient-physician-pharmacist relationship. Through this relationship, patient needs are determined by a physician, who chooses a treatment regimen that may include a compounded medication. Physicians often prescribe compounded medications for reasons that include (but are not limited to) the following situations:

• Patient is addicted to opioid medications 
• When the patient is allergic to certain preservatives, dyes or binders in available off-the-shelf medications;
• Treatment requires tailored dosage strengths for patients with unique needs (for example, an infant);
• Pharmacist can combine several medications the patient is taking to increase compliance;
• Patient cannot ingest the medication in its commercially available form and a pharmacist can prepare the medication in cream, liquid or another form that the patient can easily take; and
• Medications require flavor additives to make them more palatable for some patients, most often children. 
• Medications are discontinued by or generally unavailable from pharmaceutical companies, often because the medications are no longer profitable to manufacture.

Patient Education and Compliance Management

Patient engagement that includes initial counseling with patients, reviewing potential medication side effects and stressing the importance of safety for not just the patient but their loved ones as well. Education to help mitigate the risk of patient non-adherence and misuse ensures the provider’s treatment goals are achieved.
