Tell me more about Veterinary prescription compounding:

The practice of pharmacy was initially founded as a compounding art and science. Veterinary compounding is the mixing of ingredients with the individual patient's needs as the sole force of preparation. By individualizing medication therapy for a specific patient, the prescribing veterinarian and pharmacist develop the most appropriate medication plan for the patient -- expanding the solution beyond commercially available products and enhancing individualized patient care.

What types of problems can be solved by your compounding pharmacists?

We can provide:

• Discontinued medications
• Customized ingredient strengths
• Combination products (two or more active ingredients)
• Custom veterinary flavoring (e.g. for horses - Apple, Caramel, Cherry, Clover, Molasses... )

How can I obtain the services of Red Cross Drug veterinary compounders?

We work solely on the prescription of a licensed veterinarian. If you are a veterinarian please contact us by email or by telephone. If you are an animal owner please seek the advice of your veterinarian concerning compounded medications. If your veterinarian wishes, we would welcome his or her contact.
